Ramana Maharshi shows by example how we identify ourselves with the acts of the body and the senses

[Guest guest]

“A man says ‘I came from Madras’. But in reality ‘he’ did not come. The jutka or some other vehicle brought him from his house to the railway station, the train brought him to Tiruvannamalai railway station, and from there some other cart brought him here. But he says ‘I came’. This is how we identify ourselves with the acts of the body and the senses.” Bhagavan also quoted from the Vedanta Chudamani to the effect that the activities of the jnani are all samadhi, i.e. he is always in his real state,whatever his body may happen to be doing. 

The following remarks were also made by Bhagavan this night:“The jnani sees he is the Self and it is on that Self as the screen that the various cinema-pictures of what is called the world pass. He remains unaffected by the shadows which play on the surface of that screen.
