Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Maharshi: What is to be done ? Reality is One only. How can it be realized ? Realization is thus an illusion. Practice seems to be necessary. Who is to practice ? In looking for a doer , the act and accessories will dissapear. Moreover , if Realization is not present here and now , how can It, newly obtained , be of any use ? What is permanent must be eternally present. Can it be newly acquired and be permanent also ? Realize what is present here and now. The sages did so before and still do that only. Hence they say that it looks as if it were newly acquired. Once veiled by ignorance and later revealed , Reality looks as if newly realized. But it is not new. from TALKS WITH RAMANA MAHARSHI InnerDirections Publishing , 2000 page 335 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
