yes. the mere presence of a true jnani,

whether recnized as such or not, has

the same " sympathetic vibration " effect.

 

hehehe this is why

 

 

A true master's

Even by proxy

Or as a hearsay

Is far more effective

Than most elaborate

Instructions

Expounded endlessly

And repeatedly

By

A fake.

 

 

 

jai ramana guruji!
