From Swami Ramdas

[Guest guest]

Guru is the immortal, all-pervading Spirit. Never look upon him as a mere person. The true vision means the vision of the Reality within. The man of ignorance is ever busy clinging to external forms for support. So long as a man does not see the great Truth he is in search of, within himself, he can never know peace.- Swami Ramdas

 

Note: Swami Ramdas received the Maharshi's Darshan after great Tapas, he became Self Realised and moved to a cave on Arunachala. Later an Ashram was founded around him. His books are helpful.

The sage...

 

His name and form,

Her apparent mind and identity,

Is merely

A peephole

In the wall of the seeming

separation,

Which appears as the world, the creation...

 

The sage is

A see-through window

Behind which there is nothing else

But the inexplicable and incomparable,

Ever pristine, whole and eternal

Boundless and indefinable,

Truth/self/god.

The real.

 

The sage is, simply

Pure grace in manifestation!

 

 

jai ramanaji!
