to all concerned/Again requesting the source of the quote attributed to Sri Ramana

March 1, 2009

Hello Sandoshan,

I am again asking you the source of this quote you attributed to

Sri Ramana. In the past, we have had quotes a few times attributed to Sri

Ramana which turned out to be wrong.

Because this is a Sri Ramana list, it is critical that people

not be careless in this regard. If this quote attributed to Sri Ramana has a

specific source, I would appreciate your providing it.

Thank you.

Namaste and love to all

Yours in Bhagavan

Thank you Jeff. I don't know Byron Katie.

What Sandoshan provided did not appear to me to be a Ramana quote. That is

why I asked for a source. I would be surprised if it turns out to be a

Ramana quote.

Sri Ramana did not speak like that.

We will wait for Sandoshan to respond and provide a source, if there is one,

of the quote that was attributed to Sri Ramana.

This has happened before where someone says something that is claimed to

have been uttered by Sri Ramana. Some devotees upon hearing it start to nod

their heads saying how insightful and brilliant it is, etc.

Honestly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry when that happens.

We will wait to hear from Sandoshan and give the opportunity for correction.

Namaste and love

Dear Harsha and all others

regarding this quote i have to admit that its really great

because "in the end" our personal story is "just" ego

of course it can lead us to lift the curtain of no-knowledge....

but to understand this it nees maturity in all instances

the most of it

putting inner knowledge into daily life

i was really happy having read Sandoshans message, which was intended for me and was indeed HELP at the right moment

thanks to Grace

regarding "Byron Katie"

dear Harsha

like i told you years ago i agree with your stated message that you "stick" to our Sadguru and that - without judging at all - the neoadvaitins like Byron Katie are "not in the same categorie" (my words)

what i feel:

when you found your TRUTH stick to it and live it moment to moment

"nothing else" is necessary

light and love to all of us

in Sri Ramana Maharshi

I just phoned him to make sure that its from Sri Ramana and his

answer was "yes" but after a short research we found out that

the quote has been stated by Byron Katie.

Dear Sandoshan,

Thank you for clarifying. Attributing someone else’s words

to Sri Ramana has happened before on this list. Whenever that happens (and if I

see the message), I instantly sense something does not sound right. Even when Sri

Ramana’s words have been translated into English from Tamil, there is a

certain quality to them (for me).

A child know his mother and rarely confuses her with another

woman. A child knows how his mother acts, speaks, what she is likely to say in

any given situation, and is intimate with the very presence of her being. That

is how it is with me and the Bhagavan Ramana, the Sage of Arunachala.

We had one time someone attribute a quote to Ramana when it was

from Nisargadatta. At that time also, I asked for the source and it turned out

it was indeed from Nisargadatta. The fact that I express my doubt frankly on

these matters possibly creates some irritation.

But please everyone should keep in mind that this list is

devoted to Sri Ramana. In my view, it is simply basic courtesy to not be

careless when suggesting that Sri Ramana said something.

There are so many neo-advaita teachers now. Even every day pop

psychologists like Dr. Phil in the U.S. have joined in and provide solutions to

many problems. There is nothing wrong with that, of course. Probably, they

help a lot of people who have need for their type of teaching and style.

For Bhagavan’s devotees, however, things might be a little

different.

Without giving in to the glamour of the self-help gurus, neo

advaita teachers, and charismatic psychologists, devotees should take care to

keep their outlook pure in Bhagavan and the vision steady turned upon itself

for Self-Realization.

This sangha is devoted to the purest teachings as given by Sri Bhagavan

Ramana Maharshi.

I apologize if I have hurt any feelings and hope you understand

my perspective.

Namaste and love to all

thank you, hashaji. indeed, ramana's words has certain imperceptible,

yet unmistakable, and instantly recognizable quality. according to rumi:

" a false coin is a proof that real gold exist " . beloved ramana is pure

gold,

and we are extremely lucky...

thank you too, sandosham, for acting as befits member of bhagawan's family.

jai jai ramana,

who by mere mention of his name,

conveys his grace

forming this company of friends

jai ramana,

whose mere remembrance

elicits the purest and noblest in us

paving the road

Because this is a Sri

Ramana list, it is critical that people not be careless in this regard. If

this quote attributed to Sri Ramana has a specific source, I would appreciate

your providing it.

Thank you.

Dear Michael sometimes I re-mind my self

of Sri Ramanas words: " what would you be without the stories

you tell about your self? " .

Namaste dear Harsha,

I hope I can satisfy your curiosity.

The source of the statement is Sri Ganeshan,

in his talk on 29.01.09.

The context in which the statement was given, is about

the innumerable layers of the mind, that has to be

jumped over so that true spirituality can occure,

in that sence the one who is on the top of the hill

has no problem with the mind anymore,

up the top of the hill everything appears so tiny

and unimportant.

As oppose to the one who is cought in the mind realm

always busy with his own particular path, argueing

with others about the effectiveness and the quality of

the diverse paths that are suppose to lead to the top of the hill.

All regards,

Sandoshan

Dear Santoshan,

Thank you for your note. I am curious.

You specifically quote Sri Ramana as saying, â€œ" Only who is on the top

of the hill has no problems".

You put the statement in quotation marks and so I assume that you must know the source of it. I also would like to know the source and the context in which that comment was made. Thanks in advance.

It is generally accepted protocol to provide the exact source when specifically quoting someone.

Namaste and love

Yours in Bhagavan

Dear Harsha,

thank you for making your perspective clear,

fortunately is my perspective not very

different to yours.

There is no need to apologize becouse as

Sri Ramana said: " Only who is on the top

of the hill has no problems".

Yours in Baghavan,

Santoshan
