Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Ramana Maharshi : People often say that a mukta purusha should go out and preach his message to the people. They argue , how can anyone be a mukta while there is misery by his side ? True . But who is a mukta ? Does he see misery beside him? They want to determine that state of a mukta without themselves realizing that state. From the standpoint of the mukta , their contention amounts to this : a man has a dream in which he finds several persons. On waking , he asks, "Have the dream individuals also wakened ? " It is ridiculous. Again , a good man says , "It does not matter even if i do not get mukti . Or let me be the last man to get it so that I shall help all others to be muktas before I am one." It is all very good. Imagine a dreamer saying "May all those wake up before I do." The dreamer is no more absurd than the amiable philosopher. mukti - liberation mukta - one who is liberated from TALKS WITH RAMANA MAHARSHI InnerDirections Publishing , 2000 page 394 The New Search - Faster.
