Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 If we first know our Self, then all other matters will be plain to us. Let us know our Self and then inquire concerning the Creator and creation. Without first knowing the Self, to seek knowledge of God, etc., is ignorance. A man suffering from jaundice sees everything yellow. If he tells others that all things are yellow, who will accept his statement ? The creation is said to have an origin. How ? Like a tree and the seed from which it has grown. How was the seed produced ? From a similar tree. Where is the end to the series of questions ? Therefore, one must know one's Self before the world is known. ----------- taken from ------------------------------ Talks with Ramana Maharshi , InnerDirections Publishing , 2000 page 422 ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
