From the Garland of Guru's Sayings , the Who Translation.

[Guest guest]

From The Garland of Guru's Sayings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Verse 128. Know that he that regards as a (mere) man the Guru who has won Self-Realization and is nothing but unlimited Pure Consciousness, is a most sinful person with a foul mind.Note: This strong radical utterance by Sri Bhagavan was to remind Devotees that they should not merely see him as the mere bodily form that lived at Arunachala for a limited time. Behind that bodily form He was and is the formless Absolute Pure Consciousness Awareness, of Sat Chit Ananda. That same formless Absolute Pure Consciousness, Awareness, which is Bhagavan also dwells in our own Spiritual Hearts, and is the

SELF. His sadhana of Self Enquiry and Surrender is given to us so that we may gracefully remove all that which prevents us from Realising that Self as an actuality . Other members might like to comment on this important pointer which Sri Bhagavan so forcibly makes. AJThese quotations are from the book, Guru--Ramana--Vachana--Mala by "Who," published by Sri Ramanasramam.

Dear All,Just to complement Alan's note.If we see through the eyes of the body, we see bodies.If we abide in the Vision, we see only Self.These verse resonate as a pointer, a reminder on how to "look" to "see" the world, but most important, ourselves.Yours in Bhagavan,Mouna

Hi Mouna,

 

I meant it as an experiential pointer (instead of a thought) to complement

Alan's post (included below).

 

- in my post... substitute 'formless' for Awareness and 'form' for what it does.

 

Love,

James
