Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Dear members, just came across an interesting contribution to this thread we had in the past about "Living Masters". This may also shed a light on the theme. It is found in an article about Muruganar and Sadhu Om by Michael James in: Ramana's Muruganar, pp 133. I find it very clearifying and helpful and it may also prevent disappointments. I am writing this onto my own heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sri Sadhu Om quoted Sri Muruganar as once expressing his own experience saying, 'Devotees need not worry; Sri Bhagavan, who is the Ocean of the amrita which is the fullness of Grace, Himself has direct contact with each of His devotees in the heart, without the need of anyone to mediate or intercede in the middle" (Sri Ramana Jnana Bodham, vol. 3, p. xii). As Sri Sadhu Om used to say, Sri Bhagavan is the bright Sun of Jnana who is always and everyshere shedding the clear light of His Grace upon all, so if we rise between Him and His devotees with the feeling 'I can help and guide others', we will only be obstructing the free flow of His light and casting a shadow upon those whom we seek to guide, and hence the best help we can do for others is not to rise a separate individual but only to subside in the heart, thereby merging and losing ourselves in His light."
