The Real is Always Real

[Guest guest]

Harsha: The wise say that the Tao that can be talked about is not The Tao.

Still Sages manage to indicate the Existence of the Underlying Reality with

words and without words. They do it because it is their first hand knowledge

and it is their nature to do it. I am often reminded of the words of Ramana

Maharshi who used to say that the Reality must Always be Real and therefore It

must be Here and Now also. If it is not Here and Now and is to be gained at

some future time, then it must be subject to loss also. What can be gained can

also be lost! Therefore that which is Real, Absolute, Eternal cannot be

gained. It is what You already Are. Can we Accept This? What undermines the

acceptance of our Own Natural State?
