Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Questioner: J.Krishnamurti says, "No Guru is necessary." Sri Ramana Maharshi: How did he know it? One can say so after realising but not before. Question: Can Sri Bhagavan help us to realise truth? Sri Ramana Maharshi: Help is always there. Questioner: Then there is no need to ask questions. I do not feel the ever- present help. Sri Ramana Maharshi: Surrender and you will find it. Questioner: I am always at your feet. Will Bhagavan give us some upadesa (teaching) to follow? Otherwise how can I get help living 600 miles away? Sri Ramana Maharshi: The sadguru (the Guru who is one with Being) is within. Questioner: Sadguru is necessary to guide me to understand it. Sri Ramana Maharshi: The sadguru is within. Questioner: I want a visible Guru. Sri Ramana Maharshi: That visible Guru says that he is within. Question: Is success not dependent on the Guru's grace? Sri Ramana Maharshi: Yes, it is. Is not your practice itself due to such grace? The fruits are the result of the practice and follow it automatically. There is a stanza in Kaivalya which says, `O Guru! You have been always with me, watching me through several incarnations, and ordaining my course until I was liberated.' The Self manifests externally as the Guru when the occasion arises, otherwise he is always within, doing what is necessary. Hari Aum !!!
