Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dear All, Broadmindedness Once a visitor tells Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi that he was being a very narrow-minded person, as he was sitting in one place doing Self-enquiry, unmindful of the world around withot attempting to help or serve all. To this Bhagavan replied, ” You identify yourself with your body and limit yourself to just that. I identify myself with the self which is everything beyond all boundaries and limitless. Therefore I am the one who is truly “broad-minded” .

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Dear Sri Ravishankar, This is again not in line with Ramanuja school of thought. Here, soul is finite and is subservient to the limitless. It is feared in this school of thought that one may become further egoisitic and narrow-minded if one assumes onself to be God.

Guest Guest1 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I suggest that personalities like Ramana, Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, Narayanaguru not be quoted in this forum as their ideas are not accepted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
