Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Ramana Maharshi in Talk 257. D.: A certain young man from Dindigul spoke to Sri Bhagavan, saying that he had learnt by his stay for a few days; that all that he need do was to enquire, “Who am I?†He wanted to know if any discipline was to be observed and started with the question: “Where should I do the enquiry?†meaning if he should do it in Guru sannidhi (the presence of the Master). M.: The enquiry should be from where the ‘I’ is. D.: People labour for gaining the summum bonum of life. I think that they are not on the right track. Sri Bhagavan has made considerable tapas and achieved the goal. Sri Bhagavan is also desirous that all should reach the goal and willing to help them to that end. His vicarious tapas must enable others to reach the goal rather easily. They need not undergo all the hardships which Sri Bhagavan has already undergone. Their way has been made easy for them by Sri Bhagavan. Am I not right? Maharshi smiled and said: If that were so everyone would easily reach the goal, but each one must work for himself.
