Knowledge of Truth 23

Om Namah Sivaya

 

Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: “When the ego is effected,

the Jiva dies and there follows the realisation of

Brahman in Samadhi. Then it is Brahman, not the Jiva,

that realises Brahman.”

 

Tirumantiram (verse 1555): Lord is Within You

The Only Being, the Eternal Being

Within you He dwells;

When you say so,

These ignorant men laugh low;

Poor forks! If they but seek Him in prayer within

Then shall they meet Him – the Peerless One.

 

Auvaiyar-Jnana Kural ( 11.4. )

" If the mind becomes spotless and pure,

you can realise the Lord within the body. "

Dear Selvaratnam,

 

Thank you for the regular quotes. Only today I was reading the episode

about Latu Maharaj. He had gone to a Siva Temple within the

Dakshineswar Complex. Sri Ramakrishna who had gone to seek him worried

by his late return found him absorbed in deep meditation and sweating

profusely. Thakur immediately asked Ramlal to fetch a glass of water

and himself sat down beside Latu Maharaj and began fanning him. When

Latu Maharaj came out of his meditative trance he was shocked to see

Thakur serving him and protested. Thakur said, " I was not fanning you

but Lord Siva within you. "

 

Latu Maharaj confessed that sometime into his meditation he had seen a

light emerge from the Sivalingam and engulf the temple. Siva realising

Siva, indeed!!!

 

Regards,

Jagannath.

 

Ps: As the quote of Thakur is from memory, I may not have quoted him

exactly. But that was the purport of what he said.
