Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Lady Bateman came here with her daughter to visit Sri Bhagavan. She brought a letter from Pascaline Maillert , Versailles, which read as follows : Two years have come and gone since last I crossed the threshold of Thy Ashram and yet in spirit I ever remained there. Though illusion still often veils the vision of Reality revealed in the blessed Silence of Thy Presence. Though the Silver Thread of Self-awareness be often lost midst changing lights and shadows , still the inner urge to realize the Self remains and grows stronger and more insistent as Grace and search go hand in hand. At times , yet rare , with no apparent cause , spontaneous awareness of the "I" springs up and bliss fills the heart with growing warmth. Effortless concentration goes with this state while all desires come to rest fulfilled in utmost peace , till once more the veil is drawn and illusion seeks to blur the vision of the Real. Yet what the soul has experienced and knows repeatedly as Truth , can neither be denied nor ever forgotten , and 'That which is' gives constatnt strength to persevere. I pray to Thee as to my Self for light and guidance that I know are ever there and at Thy feet lay offerings of unchanging love." (Signed) Pascaline 11, Rue des Reservous Versailles , France November 21 , 1938 from : Talks with Ramana Maharshi InnerDirections Publishing , 2000 page 459 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
