Since I commented on the last one, I'll indulge once again.

 

Why not praise God even when He appears to come through the

loudspeaker?

" It was said of Ramana Maharshi that when

people chanted, 'Hymns in Praise of Ramana',

he himself would join them in the singing and

keep time by clapping his hands like all the

others. He had utterly disidentified himself

with any entity and was, therefore, totally

oblivious to any implications of his actions.

The hymns referred to 'Ramana', not to an

individual. The Jnani really has no individual

entity to be embarrassed about, and his

psychosomatic apparatus, the body, carries

out its normal functions in the normal way

without his being aware of them. "
