Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Mention of the term 'old man' reminds me of meeting a nephew of Raman-maharshi in London. After discussing various issues I told him, " We are both carrying heavy burdens on our shoulders, we both have an old man riding our backs, but you are lucky at least your old man is sober, mine is completely mad. " jay : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 What is the meaning of this ? The Holy Master did not want to be referred to as " An Old Man " Swamiji did so once but it is not necessary for us to use the word....

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Dear Suresh, When somebody reaches the point that Ramkrishna did, I do not think it matters how he is referred to. It may have offended you but he is far beyond likes and dislikes. Thanks, that is my two cents worth. Suresh <suresh_rathnam wrote: What is the meaning of this ?
