Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 > From the Garland of Guru's Sayings - > WHO Translation Verse 147. Revelation added the words " That " and " art " in order to (help to) turn inwards the minds of other sadhakas (spiritual seekers) whose mentality is unripe, not for anything else. see(14)footnote (14) Revelation does not give the teaching in this form uniformly; in some places only an injunction to seek and find the Self is given. Note:This verse refers to the Mahavakya 'Thou Art That' ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ > > > This > > quotation is from the book, > Guru--Ramana- -Vachana- -Mala by " Who, " > > published by Sri Ramanasramam.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 From the Garland of Guru's Sayings - WHO Translation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~> Verse 148. Oh mind, you have already suffered, thinking, " I am a jiva (an individual) " ; do not fall into a worse delusion by believing " I am Brahman (the Absolute, or the Supreme Being) " ; in the Transcendental State there is no one answering to the name of " I. " (15) (15) The " I " that is the first term of the expression " I am Brahman " is unreal; that is, there is (in fact) no such being even now; and even the illusory appearance of it will cease when (true) illumination is won. Hence, the expression can easily mislead and worsen bondage, instead of taking one to freedom. ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ This quotation is from the book, Guru--Ramana- -Vachana- -Mala by " Who, " published by Sri Ramanasramam.
