'Where could I go? I am always here'

[Guest guest]

Today I was reading an article " My Living Teacher - Writings About Sri Ramana

Maharshi " by Sri Miles Wright, in Sri Harsha's web site. The following passage

in that article is very interesting to read in the present juncture :

 

A friend recently sent me a book, "Surpassing Love and Grace", An offering from

His devotees. In it Chadwick says,"The whole mistake is initial, in the

interpretation they put on the word jivanmukta; or in what they think a jnani

really is and how he functions. When it is found that a jivanmukta is already

absorbed in the Infinite and that for him the apparent change he undergoes is

no change at all, there should be no more misapprehension. There is no further

step for a jnani to take; he lost all sense of doership or association with a

particular body when he finally knew himself to be jnani. The physical death is

only just a happening in the myriad strange happenings in maya. He was in no way

limited to a body while it was functioning. It was there, one might almost say,

for us. We needed something that we could see, somebody who could speak to us.

Now we must get along without the comfort of the physical presence,

but it does not mean Bhagavan has gone anywhere, indeed, as he said himself:

'Where could I go? I am always here.''" (p. 260)
