The ego did not come from Madras.....

[Guest guest]

" A man says `I came from Madras'. But in reality `he' did not come. The jutka or

some other vehicle brought him from his house to the railway station, the train

brought him to Tiruvannamalai railway station, and from there some other cart

brought him here. But he says `I came'. This is how we identify ourselves with

the acts of the body and the senses. " Bhagavan also quoted from the Vedanta

Chudamani to the effect that the activities of the jnani are all samadhi, i.e.

he is always in his real state,whatever his body may happen to be doing.

 

The following remarks were also made by Bhagavan this night:

 

" The jnani sees he is the Self and it is on that Self as the screen that the

various cinema-pictures of what is called the world pass. He remains unaffected

by the shadows which play on the surface of that screen.
