Maharshi:You do not go anywhere away from the Presence

[Guest guest]

As a European Countess was leaving for Europe tonight , she requested him

to bless her and her family .

 

 

Maharshi :

 

You do not go anywhere away from the Presence as you imagine.

The Presence is everywhere . The body moves from place to place,

yet it does not leave the one Presence. So no one can be out of sight

of the Supreme Presence. Since you identify one body with Sri Bhagavan

and another body with yourself , you find two separate entities and

speak of going away from here. Wherever you may be , you cannot

leave Me.

 

To illustrate it : The pictures move on the screen in a cinema show;

but does the screen itself move ? No. The Presence is the screen :

you, I , and others are the pictures. The individuals may move,

but not the Self.
