Ramana Maharshi/Love and Romance

[Guest guest]

An actual story about romance and sex from the Ramana Maharshi

newsletters........Harsha

 

 

An inmate of the Ashrama who had been serving Bhagavan Ramana for many years

started visiting a certain woman in the town. Her relatives came to know of

it and decided to catch and kill the man. One night they caught him at her

house, bound him hand and foot and locked him up in a room, postponing the

cutting of his throat until they had found a safe way of disposing of the

body. Our man managed to escape and came running to the Ashrama, pursued by

his enemies. When he entered the gate they gave up the chase. He entered the

Hall trembling and fell on the ground shouting: "Save me, save me.''

Bhagavan ordered the doors to be shut and said: "Don't fear, tell me what

happened." After having been told everything, he looked at the culprit with

understanding and pity and said reassuringly: "Don't fear any more. Go and

sleep." From the next day the man was at his work and Bhagavan would not

mention the matter at all. Everybody in the town came to know what happened.

The Ashrama people requested Bhagavan to send the man away, for his presence

would tarnish the good name of the Ashrama. Bhagavan called the man and told

him in front of everybody: "You have done some wrong, but you were too

foolish to keep it secret. Others do worse things, but they take care not to

be caught. Now, the people who were not caught want you to leave the Ashrama

because you were caught. They will make your life miserable. You had better

stay outside for some time, until things settle down." The man stayed with

some devotees outside the Ashrama and came back after a few months.
