SRI RAMANA – THE SUPREME INCARNATE

By Swami Rajeswarananda

 

Swami Rajeswarananda, born in Madras, a great devotee of Sri Ramana,

got his name as a sannyasi of the Ramakrishna Order. He edited The

Call Divine during its first twelve years. He was mentor of Prof.

T.M.P.Mahadevan who was Head, Department of Philosophy, Madras

University, and a well-known devotee of Sri Ramana. He authored Erase

the Ego and Teachings. He writes:

 

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi is no concept in mind and no form in

matter. He is no theory in name nor practice in form. He is the

substratum, the berock of Truth in all names and forms. He is the

life in all individuals and the only light in all souls. He is the

Divine Presence in one and all. He is the Basic Principle, the

fundamental fact in our everyday existence.

 

He is not external to us but ever present in us though we might fail

to realize Him as such. He is awake in us while we are asleep. He is

the very embodiment of Existence-Knowledge-Bliss

( ) ever and ever. We

cannot see Him anywhere but can see (realize ) Him everywhere. He is

the wisdom of the wise, the strength of the strong, the brilliance of

brain and the illumination of soul. He is the real " I " , the One in

all our apparent " I-s " of many.

 

He is the Supreme Consciousness that includes and transcends all the

lesser forms of consciousness. He is the absolute and lives in the

Infinite. He is the eternal rooted in Immortality. He is the Centre

of an infinite circle without a circumference. He is the harmony and

peace in the melody of the cosmos. He is the Seer in all sights, the

hearer in hearing, and the knowledge in knowing.

 

He sees without eyes, speaks without tongue, hears without ears and

thinks without mind. He is far, He is near. He is the means and He is

the end in the goal of life. He is the underlying Unity in the midst

of all diversities that exist on the surface. He is immortal and

eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.

Eminent poet Harindranath Chattopadhyaya reflects the same feeling

poetically:

 

Eternity has worn a human face,

Contracted to a little human span,

Lo, the Immortal has become a man,

A self-imprisoned thing in time
