The question still remains, and my post was really rhetorical. I see even on advaita sites that people won't let go of this type of bhakti. It seems to be giving the envelope of surrender but holding on to the corner. Some people have an attachment to materiality, subtle or no and cannot let go. Bhakti in the common sense if all external and experiencing. True Bhakti is total surrender of the ego. It is a matter of capacity I suppose, some people really believe that Ramana is still around and helping them, when that was only a body. If he was around that would negate any idea that he was a Mukta........Your teacher just showed you that speculation is not what he was into, but then it wasn't on a discussion group....It all harks back to Maharaj saying that only one person in Mumbai can understand non dualisml even intellectually....ONS...Tony.
