Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 The scholar too has become like us A scholar came from the north to have darshan of Sri Bhagavan and stayed in the ashram for some days. He would sit beside Sri Bhagavan's sofa and read aloud verses from the Upanishads and other words in Sanskrit continually. We could, because of this, neither talk to Sri Bhagavan nor meditate. But Sri Bhagavan was listening to all this patiently. Ten days passed like this. One day the scholar was not found beside Sri Bhagavan; there was no noise. He was sitting in a corner quietly. When I looked at him in surprise, Sri Bhagavan said in Malayalam, "The scholar had also become like us". Yes. No one can improve himself or another through mere book knowledge. The scholar exhibited his scholarship before Sri Bhagavan, the sun of jnana, and finally chose to be quiet. It is a well known fact that all, irrespective of whether they were scholars or illiterates, got peace through the gracious look of Sri Bhagavan. Their ignorance, conceit and worries also disappeared. http://www.geocities.com/_library/Books/reminiscenses_kunju.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
