Om Namo Bhagawate Sri Ramanya!

[Guest guest]

M: Well, Theosophy and other kindred movements are good inasmuch as they make a man unselfish and prepare him for the highest truth. Service, like prayers , japs, and even business done in God's name , lead to the highest goal_ Self Realisation.

 

 

D: But after how long? and why should a man who is ready for the Absolute Knowledge stick to the knowledge of the relative?

 

M: Everything happens in its own time. The one who is ready for the absolute knowledge will be made somehow to hear of it and follow it up. He will realise that Atmavidya is the highest of all virtues and also the end of the journey.

 

Then, asked about the difference between external and internal nirvikalpa samadhis, the Master said,

 

External samadhi is holding on to the Reality while witnessing the world, without reacting to it from within. There is the stillness of a waveless ocean. The internal samadhi involves loss of body-consciouness.

 

These lines are taken from the Book ' Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi'

The devotee asks Sri Ramana, 'how long will it take reach the highest goal,

Self Realization?'

 

To which He replies, "Everything happens in its own time."

 

This reminds me of the words in Sri Gopinath's dream.

 

""No, You will not be late."

 

It seems no matter how few rupees we may feel we start with, we arrive at

our destination at the alloted time.
