PAUL BRUNTON:

 

Will Maharshi give his opinion on the future of the world ,

as we are living in critical times ?

 

RAMANA MAHARSHI:

 

Why should you worry about the future ?You don't even know the present properly .

Take care of the present and the future will take take care of itself.

 

P.B.:

Will the world soon enter a new era of friendliness and mutual help or will it go down in chaos and war ?

 

R.M.:

There is one who governs the world and it is His task to look after the world.

He who has given life to the world knows how to look after it also.

He bears the burden of this world , not you.

 

P.B.:

Yet if one looks around with unprejudiced eyes it is hard to see where this benevolent regard comes in.

 

R.M.

As you are , so is the world. Without understanding yourself what is the use of trying

to understand the world? This is a question that seekers after Truth need not

consider. People waste their energies over all such questions .

First find out the Truth behind yourself , then you will be in a better position to

understand the Truth behind the world of which yourself is part.A Search in Secret India
