Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Dear Mouna-ji: As a brother devotee in Bhagavan Ramana, I enjoy reading your posts immensely. " Bhagavan Ramana on one occasion pointed out, as the essence of Vedanta, two phrases that happen to be... biblical statements! " I am that I AM " and " Be still and know that I am God " . To my understanding, this demonstrates that He was definitely not bound to any sampradaya, but rather knew what " tool " worked better for every specific situation, no matter what brand fabricated it. " You are certainly right about what you say about Bhagavan and the brother and sister devotees see it right away. Sri Ramana once said that those who have faith in their Guru live in the world like a prince. Namaste and love to all Yours in Bhagavan Harsha advaitin [advaitin ] On Behalf Of Mouna Tuesday, June 02, 2009 2:33 AM advaitin Re: advaita vedanta and buddhism I just want to make the observation that although I missed your direct quotations (one day I would kindly request you to send them to me again), Bhagavan Ramana on one occasion pointed out, as the essence of Vedanta, two phrases that happen to be... biblical statements! " I am that I AM " and " Be still and know that I am God " . To my understanding, this demonstrates that He was definitely not bound to any sampradaya, but rather knew what " tool " worked better for every specific situation, no matter what brand fabricated it. Anyhow, I decided to follow His advice in this moment. Thanks for the discussion, Yours in Bhagavan, Mouna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
