Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 ~~Ramana said to him was " go back from where you came " .~~ Dave, from my very experienced 2 cents worth-- If the visitor is ready to hear it, it will work on him and he will get it. " Ramana " is a powerful catalyst. If the visitor is not ready to hear it, he may be resentful, and spend his remaining years proving Ramana wrong, and die the death of a thousand knives! The moral of the story is, don't play with fire. This is not child's play. ------------------- Nisargadatta, " Dave Sirjue " <davesirjue@h...> wrote: > > > > > " el_wells_2002 " <elizabethwells@m...> > >Nisargadatta > >Nisargadatta > > Forwarded....story about Ramana... > >Tue, 30 Jul 2002 22:14:59 -0000 > > Hy El et al, > > Just barged into the forum..and my few cents. > > >...story about Ramana... > > > >apparently this man sought all his life for reality/truth, > >all that, and took great pains to find Ramana. > > > >when he finally reached Arunachala after great effort > >and was allowed to see the Bhagwan, > > > >all Ramana said to him was " go back from where you came " . > > Sounds abusive enough, but was he rather pointing this guy to investigate > the source of the " you " (or me-entity) ? > > From one standpoint the " me " never came into existence, > it simply doesn't exist; yet from another perspective it appears to have a > relative existence and an origin.
