Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 OUTSIDE THE SCRIPTURES By DR. T. N. KRISHNASWAMI Fifth and final part Am I worse than a dog? Steadfastly will I track Thee out and regain Thee, Oh Arunachala. (First of the Five Hymns to Arunachala, verse 39.) 17 The Maharshi says that if one earnestly seeks the ‘I’, the false ‘I’ vanishes, leaving only the true to shine in all its prinstine glory. His teaching is based on his own experience not on learning or reasoning, and nothing he says is for the sake of argument. What can be more heartening to the traveller on the Mountain Path? 17. The Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi, Riders, London and Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai. When the ego-sense of the individual me vanishes there springs up within me an endless current of ‘I-I’, conferring unique and transcendental bliss which engulfs all my knowledge and ends in Silence. How then can Silence be expressed? - TAYUMANAVAR * * * It is only because of ignorance that the Self appears to be finite. When ignorance is destroyed the Self which does not admit of any multiplicity whatsoever, truly reveals Itself by Itself, like the sun when the cloud is removed. - SHANKARA THE MOUNTAIN PATH (Quarterly) Editor: Arthur Osborne L1 JANUARY 1964 No 1 Start your day with - make it your home page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
