Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Disciple: Research on God has been going on from time immemorial. Has the final word been said? Maharshi: (Keeps silence for some time.) Disciple: (Puzzled) Should I consider Sri Bhagavan's silence as the reply to my question? Maharshi: Yes. Mouna is Isvara-svarupa. Hence the text: "The Truth of Supreme Brahman proclaimed through Silent Eloquence." Disciple: Buddha is said to have ignored such inquiries about God. Maharshi: And for this reason was called a sunyavadin (nihilist). In fact Buddha concerned himself more with directing the seeker to realize Bliss here and now that with academic discussion about God, etc. (From Maharshi's Gospel, published by Sri Ramanasramam and available for download from <http://www.ramana-maharshi.org/> http://www.ramana-maharshi.org/ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
