Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 "Once a visitor said: "I have been coming to you, Swami, many times, hoping that something will happen and I shall be changed. So far I do not see any change in me. I am as I was, a weakling of a man, an investerate sinner.' And he started weeping piteuosly. 'On this road there are no milestones', replied Bhagavan. 'How can you know which direction you are going? Why don't you do what the first-class railway passenger does? He tells the guard his destination, locks the doors and goes to sleep. The rest is done by the guard. If you could trust your guru as much as you trust the railway guard, it would be quite enough to make you reach your destination. Your business is to shut the door and windows and sleep. The guard will wake you up at your destination.'" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from "The Bhagavan I Knew" by Voruganti Krishnayya (Krishna Bhikshu) in Ramana Smrti, 1980 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
