Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 ....... Before leaving South India , Mr. Wright and I made a pilgrimage to the holy hill of Arunachala near Tiruvannamalai to meet Sri Ramana Maharshi . At his ashram the sage welcomed us affectionately and pointed to a nearby stack of East-West magazines. During the hours that we spent with him and his disciples , he was mostly silent , his gentle face radiating divine love and wisdom. To help suffering humanity regain its forgotten state of perfection, Sri Ramana teaches that one should constantly ask himself " "Who am I?" - the Great Inquiry indeed. By stern rejection of all other thoughts the devotee soon finds himself going deeper and deeper into the true Self , and the sidetracking bewilderments of other thoughts cease to arise . The illumined rishi of South India has written : Dualities and trinities on something do hang, Supportless they never appear ; That support searched for , they loosen and fall. There is the Truth. Who sees that never wavers. taken from Autobiography of a Yogi Paramahansa Yogananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
