Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 13 Because he is adjunct-free, the Guru is God God and the jnani are identical. To know oneself as pure consciousness distinct from the body is to know God. God consciousness is not different from one’s real nature, pure consciousness. Knowing God is only being the Self. The supreme spirit [Parabrahman] and the jnani who has the firm experience of the Self are identical because of the experience of adjunct-free being-consciousness. Bhagavan, who graciously gave this explanation of the truth of the Sadguru, was himself a standing testimony to this truth. Just as the sun, having the form fire, generates its fire-nature in the sun-stone on which its rays fall, Sri Ramana, having the form of consciousness-light, generated consciousness of the Self in the hearts of those on whom his divine look fell. This experience of the Self is automatically obtained in the presence of the jnani who unceasingly abides in the Self. (p. 10) ..........
