Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 "What use is the learning of those who do not seek to wipe out the letters of destiny ( from their brow ) by enquiring : "Whence is the birth of us who know the letters ? " They have sunk to the level of a gramophone . What else are they , O Arunachala ? " "It is those who are not learned that are saved rather than those whose ego has not yet subsided in spite of their learning. The unlearned are saved from the relentless grip of the devil of self-infatuation; they are saved from the malady of a myriad whirling thoughts and words ; they are saved from running after wealth . It is from more than one evil that they are saved. " from THE TEACHINGS OF RAMANA MAHARSHI edited by Arthur Osborne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
