Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Deae Gopinath, At the out set let me say that you are very lucky to have Bhagavan in the dream. I hear d that there are two situations underwhich epople dream of Bhagavan. One those who have heard of him and seen him and those who never saw him and could come to know later that the person appeared in their dream was Bhagavan. Nannagaaru from Andhrapradesh who has an ashram at Tiruvannamalai, Ecchammal and several others fall in the later category in which case the relationship could be from past incarnations. Any how life is not the same once Ramana appears in the dream which is an indication of recognition of existence of grace As regards the significance of 7 referred to in the dream, I think Bhagavan was referring to the levels of consciousness one should pass through before merging in the Self. I heard that Sri Ramakrishna, and Vivekanada are incarnations from that 7th plane. It also tallys with the stage after the 6 chakras referred to in Kundalini yoga. As regards the time one would take to reach the summit, it depends on the level at which one is positioned in the present incarnation having done substantial sadhana in previous incarnations like Muruganar, Papaji, Swami Ramadas, Lakshmana swami and several others who realised with the grace of Bahagavan I just shared my thoughts from what I read and heard.

Ramana's teachings are centred around only the Self. Unlike the traditional masters, he did not make even the distinction between atman and Brahman, these things being only explanations for establishing the reality of the world and iswara, all these things being subsumed in the self. Bhagahvan did not make painful grammatical distinctions between, "Tat and Tvam." There are some vedantins who say that it is not enough to realize the, "TVAM,", but one has to realize the,"TAT," also, all these things being merely intellectual ideas to keep the mind alive, which is suicidal to self-realization. with respectful regards Sankarraman Get your email and more, right on the new .com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
