Quotes Ramana

[Guest guest]

" The Maharshi has not the slightest use

for pretentiousness and self-importance.

The Maharshi's self-obliviousness was

enchanting for me.

Greatness sat easily upon him as beauty

on a sunset cloud, but with a devastating

effect. All our ideas as to how the great

should act seem to be dismissed by him

with a smile of simple disavowal. I saw

with my own eyes day after day.....this

unique Sage, the like of whom I am sure

is not to be met within this vast world.

I have never in my life of vast experience

and wide travelling met a man so utterly

indescribable and yet so profoundly moving.

I cannot say why he moved me to my depths

with eyes where no soft light of emotion

presided, and yet it bathed me when I met

his gaze with a peace that I find as unaccountable

as it was delectable. "
