Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya 2nd january 1942 Visitor: In spite of having come to the definite conclusion as a result of one's investigation that 'I' has no essential relation with the non-self, i.e., with the body, senses and the objects perceived by the senses, the mind persists in going after these very same things which constitute the non-self. What is it due to and how can it be remedied? Maharshi: It is due to lack of abhyasa and vairagya. When Self-enquiry has become steady through practice, and the spirit of renunciation firm through conviction, your mind will be free from the tendency of thinking about the non-self. V: How can I gain steadiness in practice? M: Only through more practice. (From 'Peace That Passeth All Understanding' by Swami Prasannanda Guru - which appears in 'Surpassing Love and Grace', Sri Ramanasramam; 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
