Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 D: But isn't the Guru's grace or God's grace necessary for one's progress in the vichara? ( enquiry) Baghavan: Yes. But the vichara you are making is itself the Guru's grace or God's grace. D. I request you to bless me with your grace. The Maharshi remains silent for a while, shewing that his very silent presence, in perpetual (sahaja) Samadhi, is an ever present help, which it is for the thirsty questioner to quaff and quench his spiritual thirst with. Then he said: B. Go on with your enquiry. D. How? I don't know how to proceed. Bhagavan: Who does'nt know? You say "I" and yet you say you don't know "I". Can anyone be ignorant of himself? Isn't that ludicrously impossible? If there were something else to be attained or known, then you might feel difficulty in attaining or knowing it. But in the case of the ever-present, inescapable "I" , how can you be ignorant? You have constantly to fight out and get rid of your false notion of "I". Do that. D. In doing so isn't a Guru's help necessary and useful? B.: Yes, to start you on the enquiry. But you must yourself pursue your enquiry. ~~~ CRUMBS FROM HIS TABLE By Ramanananda Swarnagiri Fourth Edition, 1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
