Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 .............................. Again there was Sri Ramana's loving guidance when I was physically and spiritually exhausted on account of having undertaken a new task without considering beforehand carefully enough my daily-meditation practice as well as my demanding part time office job. Having started Hatha Yoga at the blessed Yoga School of Mr. Selvarajan Yesudian and Mrs. E. Haich, Ramana Maharshi wanted me definitely to go on with my daily Hatha Yoga exercises despite my fatigue, as I learned from the following incident : One early morning, while sitting one the carpet ready to start my exercises, yet feeling tired, I suddenly found myself kneeling at the feet of Sri Ramana touching them with my forehead in utter devotion. Immediately I knew in my heart that I was to continue my regular exercises without considering my body's condition. I have been following Bhagavan's advice strictly until this day and am much better now. On the other hand , when I was too fatigued for sitting in padmasana posture for meditation , Bhagavan taught me that silence alone is important and not the physical posture observed along with it. Subsequently I learnt to sit comfortably in an easy-chair during meditation time. This has been a great help for my continuos sadhana during the past years , and I gratefully bow down at Sri Ramana's holy feet : " Kinder far art though than one's own mother , is this then Thy all-kindness , Oh Arunachala?"
