Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 16 `Bhakti'

V7

Though name and form are superimposed on the deity, one transcends

these very names

and forms through them.

 

Commentary

The Supreme is the formless source of all form. A particular form or

name as Siva, Vishnu, Subrahmanya, is superimposed by a devotee.

Such limitations spring from the ignorance of the devotee who not

only regards himself as a particular name and form but also regards

the Supreme as a particular deity with a specific name and form. The

question arises if the true nature of the Supreme would be known to

the devotee not withstanding the approach. Ramana answers that it

would be known.
