Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 17 `On Attainment Of Wisdom'

 

Bhagavan:

V3

Knowledge does not come gradually, little by little, day by day. It

shines forth instantaneously with ripeness of practice.

 

Commentary

The practice referred to here is vigilant and persistent self-

enquiry into the source of individuality.

To begin with, even though the joy of abiding at its source would be

experienced by the mind, it would soon become externalised by force

of habit. Ramana gives the example of a cow used to grazing on

another's pastures. Even though luscious grass and fine fodder are

given to it by the owner it would not stay in its shed but would

slip away at the earliest opportunity. Gradually, as its old habits

weakened and the pleasure of eating tasty food at home was enjoyed

more and more, it would stray away less frequently. In he end even

if let loose it would not move out.* Similarly, the bliss of

existence has to be experienced for longer intervals by steady self-

enquiry. Then, in time, due to the perfection of this practice, the

mind would remain merged in its source and knowledge would blaze

forth.

[*Conscious Immortality – Paul Brunton P40]
