Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 Anecdotes of Ramana Maharshi. Grant Me Salvation, Swami One afternoon a lady from Kumbhakonam sat near Bhagavan and exclaimed: "How glad I am that I have met you, Swami. I have craved to see you for a long time, Swami. Not that I want anything, Swami. Only please be kind and grant me salvation, Swami." With that she got up and went away. Bhagavan had a hearty laugh. "Look at her - all she wants is salvation. Give her salvation, she wants nothing else." I said: "Is it not what we all want ?" He replied: "Is salvation something to be handed over on request ? Do I keep bundles of salvation concealed about me, that people should ask me for salvation ? She said 'I do not want anything.' If it is sincere, that itself is salvation. What is there I can give and what is there they can take ?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
