Maharshi's Gospel - 25

[Guest guest]

D. The mind continues to feel partial towards children,

possibly because the form of a child is often

used to personify the Ideal. How can this preference

be outgrown ?

 

Maharshi - Hold on to the Self. Why think of children

and of your reactions toward them ?

 

D. This third visit to Tiruvannamalai seems to have intensified

the sense of egoism in me and made meditation less easy.

Is this an unimportant passing phase or a sign thatr I should

avoid such places hereafter ?

 

Maharshi - It is imaginary. This place or another is within you.

Such imaginations must end ; for places as such

have nothing to do with the activities of the mind.

Also your surroundings are not merely a matter

of your individual choice; they are there as a matter

of course; and you should rise above them and not

get yourself entangled in them.
