Ramana Maharshi says Jnani will never feel any attachment towards His body

[Guest guest]

Just as a coolie carries a burden and happily places it down at the

destination, so also the great knower of reality [mey-jnani] will be happy

to place down the burden of this body.

 

 

Sadhu Om: A coolie will never feel any attachment in the form of ‘I’ or

‘mine’ towards the burden he is carrying. Similarly, a Jnani will never feel

any attachment towards His body either in the form ‘I am this body’ or in

the form ‘this body is mine’. Just as a leaf-plate is fit only to be

discarded after one has taken food on it, so the body is fit only to be

discarded after Self-knowledge – the fruit which is to be gained by living

in the body – has been attained. By the death of the body, the Jnani will

incur no loss and will feel no sorrow.

GURU’S SAYINGS translated from original Tamil By Sadhu Om and Michael James

 

Guru Vachaka Kovai is the biggest collection of Bhagavan’s spoken teachings

that was thoroughly checked and revised by him during his lifetime. As such

it has a unique place in the Ramana literature.
