In reading about the Kafuffle in Kovalam, I was immediately struck by

the account of the old German guy crying b/c Ramesh was saying nasty

things about Bhakti or denying that he (Ramesh)was a bhakta of any

sort.

 

However, in a letter addressed " Dear God, " which is re-printed (I say

re-printed, because I have seen this very same letter in at least one

other book of Ramesh's, though I can't remember which one) toward the

end of " The Ultimate Understanding " which is touted as

representing " the pinnacle of the teaching of Ramesh S. Balsekar, one

of the greatest spiritual teachers of Advaita.... "

 

The letter, written when Ramesh was 84, begins:

 

" This is my record of eternal gratitude to You. "

 

Ramesh goes on to express deep gratitude for all " You gave me...(this

and that, etc)...and a wife and family, for which I have always been

eternally grateful....etc. etc. "

 

Ramesh concludes his paean to God with the following:

 

" Truly I am blessed. Or, indeed, my Beloved, have You not blessed

Yourself?!

 

And finally, " .....no tears aare enough to wash Your Noumenal feet. "

 

And he signs his name at the bottom.

 

And speaking of " dead Indians, " the heading of the page is a quote

from the late, great Jnaneshwar, to wit:

 

" I bow in worhship to that Sadguru (The Source or God) who, though in

reality formless, is the very embodiment of compassion. "

 

Maybe somebody should show this letter to the elderly German guy. It

might cheer him up. Or not.

 

As another dead guy, Hamlet, used to say:

 

" Something is rotten in the state where Flemming lives. "

 

Methinks.
