Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 10. You say that this is the 'age of reason' and that the teaching must be in accordance with reason. I ask: "Whose is the intellect?" You must answer 'my intellect'. So the intellect is your tool. You use it for measuring variety. It is not yourself nor is it something independent of yourself. You are the abiding reality, while the intellect is just a phenomenon. You must find and get hold of yourself. There is no intellect in dreamless sleep. There is none in a child. The intellect develops with age. But how could there be any development or manifestation of the intellect without the seed of it in sleep or childhood? Why go to history to discover this fundamental fact? The degree of truth in the history is the same as the degree of truth in the historian. ~ Thus Spake Ramana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
