Dear Members,

 

Source: Drops from the Ocean

 

Yogi Ramsuratkumar, the incomparable siddha purusha,

narrated a page from his own life history. 'My master,

Swami Ramdas, emphasized that everything is in the

Name. When I read J. Krishnamurti with equal reverence

and interest, I found that he said there is nothing in

the Name. I was perplexed with these two differing and

diametrically opposite statements. I also knew that

both these utterances came from great masters. But by

now, Swami Ramdas had passed away.

 

So, I sought Krishnaji to get this clarified. I went

to Madras. But Krishnaji had gone to Rishi Valley. I

went there. I could not meet him. He then went to

Bombay. I followed him. There also, I could not meet

him. He returned to Madras. I too, relentlessly

followed. I was keen to get my doubt cleared by this

living master. In Madras, I was told I could not meet

him.

 

Early one morning, I waited in the garden of Vasant

Vihar, where he was residing, hoping that he would

come down and meet me. What happened after that, I

can't describe as dream, vision or reality! But this

is what happened. Krishnaji came straight to me. I

prostrated fully before him. After some time, he

lifted me up affectionately and put both his hands on

my shoulders tenderly. I could not speak a single word

as I was in a state of spiritual awe, physical wonder

and mental exhilaration! He said in his ever-sweet

voice, 'Both of us say the same thing!' I was in

ecstasy. My doubt was eradicated.

 

Yes! Both the statements, 'Name is everything' and

'Name is nothing', convey in essence, the same Truth.

Purna, total Presence, and sunya, total Absence mean

exactly the same, single, indivisible Oneness!'

 

Regards
