The moment I saw it, the phrase " ecce homo, " 'here is the man' flashed in my mind. Generally, that phrase is used to designate Christ undergoing the pain of his demise. Here is the man, Ramana, stripped of hype. The swollen knee sticking out like a bony cross. No bliss, no power, just and old man, his pain, and his mind. We hope, the mind dwells in that total indifference to consciousness and it's contents that is liberation. Within that mind pain floats softly away without stirring the dust of rejection and suffering. The indifferent mind is like a sky to which the unconscious night and the conscious day are the same. Ecce homo. No glory, no hype, just dust returning to dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
