Guest guest Posted July 28, 2000 Report Share Posted July 28, 2000 Melody [melody] Hi Daniel, Can you offer the context in which this was stated....perhaps you can share the name of a book in which the following quote appears: > "The fate of the soul is determined in accordance with its prarabhda > karma. What is meant to be will be, no matter what you do to prevent > it. What is not meant to be will not be, no matter what you do to > make it happen. Therefore the best course is to remain silent." > - Ramana When Ramana Maharshi's mother found him after some years of searching, she tried to convince the Sage to come back home. He ignored her and remained silent. She wept and wailed and begged him to come back. It went on for some time, perhaps several days. Ramana then wrote the above on a piece of paper and stayed silent. Disappointed and distressed, his mother returned home. Eventually, she gave up the worldly life and joined him on the Arunachala Hill. She was never away from him for even a day after that. Her fervent wish was to die with her son near her. She passed away with Ramana's hands on her head and heart. The Sage said that the Mother had gained complete liberation. The story of his mother's death and the last hours is quite beautiful and worth reading. Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
