Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 November 6, 1935 The Master gave the significance of the Christian faith thusly: Christ is the ego. The Cross is the body. When the ego is crucified, and it perishes, what survives is the Absolute Being (God), (" I and my Father are one") and this glorious survival is called Resurrection. Major A.W. Chadwick, an ardent English devotee, asked: Why did Jesus call out "My God! My God!" while being crucified? M. It might have been an intercession on behalf of the two thieves crucified with him. A jnani has attained liberation even while alive, here and now. It is immaterial as to how, where and when he leaves his body. Some jnanis may appear to suffer, others may be in samadhi, while others may disappear from sight before death. But that makes no difference to their jnana. Such suffering is apparent only to the onlooker and not to the jnani, for he has already transcended the mistaken identity of the Self with the body. ~ Talks with Ramana Maharshi On Realizing Abiding Peace and Happiness pp. 55-56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
