Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya 97 Only the mind by maya's might Deluded and looking outward sees The body. The true Self knows no body. To call the Self of pure Awareness The body's owner or indweller Is an error. 98 It is only when the 'I' functions As the body that the world Of moving and unmoving objects Appears 'Out there'. In the absence Of another, to call the Self A 'witness' is an error. [The Self is neither the body's owner nor the world's witness. The jîva is both.] 99 Without the body, the world is not. Without the mind, the body is not. Without awareness, there is no mind. And without being there is no Awareness. (Sri Muruganar's The Garland of Guru's Sayings - Trans. Prof. K. Swaminathan, Tiruvannamalai; 1996) -- "ekam sat viprA bahudhA vadanti That which exists is One; sages call it by various names." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
