You make a great point just below:

when he was alive and being in

his presence your doubts and questions

dissolved, but what about todays seeker

who is not in his presence

and reads the transcripts of some of his

answers to questioners, is

it really that helpful?

Me. I tried, periodically,

for years to try understand

those dialogues. I read the the big book

of Ramana's dialogues twice and came up

completely empty.

 

 

 

If you deeply look into a lady's eyes and

nothing happens to you... she is not

the one for you.

 

If you hold a lady's hands and look

into her eyes and nothing happens to

you... she is not the one for you.

 

 

If you hold a lady's hands and she

looks into your eyes and nothing

happens to... she is not the one for you.

 

When a lady holds your hand and

whispers into your ears and you don't

think she is talking about you... she

is not the one for you.

 

 

 

 

If you deeply look into a Ramana's eyes and

nothing happens to you... he is not the

one for you.

If you deeply read and contemplate

Ramana and it doesn't seem that she is

talking about you... he is not the one

for you.

 

 

 

 

[...in either case, it doesn't mean

that she is the wrong lady or, you are

a wrong man, it might simply mean that

you two are not compatible with each

other...

 

or, it might mean that you are

not totally ready for each other.]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Ramana is not for 'beginners'.

Read him now, and, you might totally

understand him.
