Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Prayer for Grace and Guru's Upadesa --- Kunju Swami Sri Bhagavan was sitting alone.I thought it was a great opportunity for me to talk to him freely. I told him about my interest in givingreligious discources,doing japa, and studying Vedanta. I told him that I had not been getting any peace, but the moment I heard about him, I was filled with peace.I also told Sri Bhagavan inMalayalam about how the Swamiji who had taught me Vedantatried to attain samadhi. Sri Bhagavan listened to everything with asmile. I asked him what I should do to get mental peace. Sri Bhagavanreplied, "You have read Kaivalyam. It is clearly stated that if yourealise yourself, you will be freed from the cycle of birth and deathand be freed from all trouble." When I asked him how to realise the Self, he said I shouldfirst know who I am, he said, "Find out where thoughts start from." When asked how I should do it, he said, "Turn inward and mergethe mind in the heart." After saying this, he fell into his naturalsilence. Thinking I should also be like him, I sat in silence.Sri Bhagavan's gracious looks were on me. My mental agitationvanished that very moment and I attained a peace and joythat I had not experienced earlier. http://www.geocities.com/_library/Books/reminiscenses_kunju.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
