Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 " The greatest peculiarity of Ramana Maharshi's life is that although he has molded and perfected his personality on the lines of Advaita Vedanta, a purely Indian way of Self-realization, he is highly appreciated and resorted to by the Western seekers and by those Indians who have been educated on Western lines. Ramana Maharshi's greatness is deeply founded. It is based on his actual living by the creed of the Advaita Vedanta, which holds that the Reality is one without a second, that everything in this universe is but one Reality, which is Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. True to his creed, he regards nothing alien, none as other, no event as undesirable. For him the ideal is the real and the real is the ideal. He has no relations with anybody but that of Love. --Prof. B.L.Atreya, M. A., D. Litt-- [written 1940] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
