Bhagavan: Yes, please do so. Bhagavan added, There was no doubt that the boy was very much concerned over what he considered my sad plight and that he was moved by great and genuine pity.

A curse on you! Why cant you stay quiet in a place? Relating the above incident, Bhagavan said that, when first the old woman began abusing him, he could not understand how he deserved it and was dumbfounded as to what offence he could have given to the woman.

This made Mr. Rajagopal recall an article by one Miss Souris in a Telugu journal called Bharati. For the benefit of Harindranath Chattopadhyaya and some others who were new to it, Bhagavan again related the incident to the merriment of all of us.

Bhagavan said, One day the Mauni brought the tapals post as usual. I left the papers and magazines on the couch and was looking at the letters. After showing the tapals to me, Mauni left the hall and took the Bharati number with him, saying he would read it and bring it back. After a little time he came back, left the magazine on my couch and was going out. While near the door, he suddenly said, What a thief is Bhagavan! I was wondering what I could have done to have made the Mauni reproach me like that.

It sort of rankled in my mind. And only after I read the article in the Bharati and came to the very last sentence in it, which was Oh, what a thief is Bhagavan!

I could understand the joke. Kundanlal Mahatani, of Karachi, who has been staying here for about eight months, asked Bhagavan for direct upadesa, urging that all the books emphasise that nothing can be achieved by anybody except with the help of upadesa from a guru and that though he has read all the directions given by Bhagavan for Self-enquiry and attaining stillness of mind 14 where God can be realised as I, he still did not know what was the best method for him individually.

This was not the first time he had made such a request. At least twice before, once in J une and again in J uly, he had done so. Neither then nor now did Bhagavan make any reply. The gentleman was very much dejected and was worried whether he was not fit to receive any reply and whether he had committed any offence on account of which Bhagavan was not pleased to reply.

Later in the day, in the evening, Bhagavan in connection with some other matter, referred to a Tamil poem, and to look at a translation of it, Mr. Mahatani borrowed my note book on As often happens to devotees, who indirectly receive necessary instructions, Mr.

Mahatani found in the note book instructions which suited him. Further, on about 2 p. He was greatly delighted and later in the same dream another devotee put the same question to Bhagavan and Mahatani repeated the above answer to him and laughed heartily. All this was reported to Bhagavan on the 25th by Mahatani. Subba Rao of Bezwada asked Bhagavan, What is the difference between imagination and vision?

Bhagavan: One is voluntary and the other is not. But in the ultimate analysis, though not in the immediate present, even vision must have had its origin in the voluntary sphere. Subba Rao: As dreams have their origin there? B: Yes. Another Visitor: It is said that our waking life is also a dream, similar to our dream during sleep.

But in our dreams 15 we make no conscious effort to get rid of the dream and to awake, but the dream itself comes to an end without any effort on our part and we become awake. Similarly why should not the waking state, which is in reality only another sort of dream, come to an end of its own accord, and without any effort on our part, and land us in jnana or real awakening? B: Your thinking that you have to make an effort to get rid of this dream of the waking state and your making efforts to attain jnana or real awakening are all parts of the dream.

When you attain jnana you will see there was neither the dream during sleep, nor the waking state, but only yourself and your real state. I pressed Bhagavan, But what is the answer to the question?

Why should not the waking state also pass like our dreams without any effort on our part and land us in jnana, as a dream passes off and leaves us awake? B: Who can say that the dream passed off of its own accord?

If the dream came on, as is generally supposed, as the result of our past thoughts or karma, probably the same karma also decides how long it should last and how after that time it should cease. I was still unsatisfied and, as the result of further talk with Bhagavan, I feel that the waking state, though a sort of dream, is clearly distinct from the dream during sleep in this, namely that during dream it never occurs to us that it is a dream, whereas in the waking state we are able to argue and understand from books and gurus and from some phenomena that it may be only dream after all.

Because of this, it may be our duty to make an effort to wake into jnana. Bhagavan says that we dont deem a dream, a dream till we wake up, that the dream looks quite real while it lasts; and that similarly this waking state will not appear a dream till we wake up into jnana.

Still, it seems to me that, because of the above difference between the dream and the waking states, our effort is called for. Desai, Retired Sub-J udge, asked Bhagavan with reference to what is said in Ramana Gita , How to direct the prana or life-current into the sushumna nadi, so that as stated in Ramana Gita we could achieve the severance of the chit-jada granthi?

Bhagavan said, By enquiring Who am I? The yogi may be definitely aiming at rousing the kundalini and sending it up the sushumna. The jnani may not be having this as his object.

But both achieve the same result, that of sending the Life-force up the sushumna and severing the chit-jada granthi. Kundalini is only another name for atma or Self or sakti. We talk of it as being inside the body, because we conceive ourselves as limited by this body. But it is in reality both inside and outside, being no other than Self or the sakti of Self.

Desai: How to churn up the nadis, so that the kundalini may go up the sushumna? Bhagavan: Though the yogi may have his methods of breath-control, pranayama, mudras, etc. When by this method the mind is merged in the Self, the Self, its sakti or kundalini, rises automatically. The next day a visitor asked Bhagavan, with reference to the words dhimahi in the gayatri, What is the idea meant?

I am not able rightly to grasp it. B: The words only mean fixing the aham in the Self, though literally they mean, We meditate. Visitor: I am not able to form a conception of the Tat or the Self. Then, how am I to fix the aham in the Tat. B: Why should you bother to conceive the Tat which you dont know? Try to find out the I that you know, what it is and whence it arises. That is enough. Bhagavan: The very fact that you put this question shows you know what to do.

It is because you feel the want of peace, that you are anxious to take some steps to secure peace. Because I have a little pain in my foot, I am applying this ointment. Visitor: What is the method to be adopted for securing peace? B: The conception that there is a goal and a path to it, is wrong. We are the goal or peace always.

To get rid of the notion that we are not peace is all that is required. V: All books say that the guidance of a Guru is necessary. B: The Guru will say only what I am saying now. He will not give you anything you have not already. It is impossible for anyone to get what he has not got already. Even if he gets any such thing, it will go as it came. What comes will also go. What always is will alone remain. The Guru cannot give you anything new, which you have not already.

Removal of the notion that we have not realised the Self is all that is required. We are always the Self. Only, we dont realise it. The Asramam compounder asked some questions about his experiences during meditation. Bhagavan explained that the Self is the one reality that always exists and it is by its light all other things are seen. We forget it and concentrate on the appearances. The light in the hall burns, both when persons are present there and when they are absent, both when persons are enacting something as in a theatre and when nothing is being enacted.

It is the light which enabled us to see the hall, the persons and the acting. We are so engrossed with the objects or appearances revealed by the light that we pay no attention to the light. In the waking state or dream state, in which things appear, and in the sleep state, in which we see nothing, there is always 18 the light of consciousness or Self, like the hall-lamp always burning.

The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them. One of them has recently lost a child. He put the question to Bhagavan, Why did that child die so young? Is it his karma or our karma that we should have this grief? Bhagavan: The prarabdha which the child had to work out in this life was over and so it passed away.

So we may call it the childs karma. So far as you are concerned, it is open to you not to grieve over it, but to remain calm and unaffected by it, being convinced that the child was not yours but always only Gods, that God gave and God took away.

Strange to say, when he casually opened the book, it actually opened at the story he had in mind. And from the book he asked me to read out the portion where Punya advises his brother Pavana not to grieve foolishly over the death of their parents, pointing out that Pavana had had innumerable births in the past, in each one of which he had a number of relations and that exactly as he is not mourning for the death of all those relations now, he should not now mourn for the death of their father either.

The visitor asked, When a person dies while yet a child and another lives long, which of them is the greater sinner? B: I cannot say. I told the visitor that the data he had given could not by themselves enable anyone to judge which was the greater sinner.

Visitor: If a person lives long, he has greater chances of perfecting steps to reach realisation. A visitor asked, When it is said that we must renounce all activities, is it meant that we should reduce our activities as much as possible? B: By giving up activities is meant giving up attachment to activities or the fruits thereof, giving up the notion I am the doer. The activities for going through which this body has come, will have to be gone through.

There is no question of giving up such activities, whatever one may or may not like. Few knew of this till about p. But after the news gradually spread and almost all the devotees went up to Skandasramam and found Bhagavan seated on the terraced platform in front, which overlooks the temple and town.

We found Bhagavan in very good spirits and relating various events and incidents that happened during his stay there previous to his coming to Ramanasramam. Bhagavan had a mind even to continue stopping there and to spend the night there.

But all the devotees had thronged there and none looked likely to move till Bhagavan moved. So at about p. Bhagavan started, looked at the various parts of the Asramam, telling us where he used to sleep, where he used to sit, and where mother sat, where they cooked, where the old tap was, and so on, and then got down by the steps. On the way he visited Virupakshi Cave and explained about his life there also. Some sannyasi who seems to have been living in that cave for some days now brought water from the well nearby and Bhagavan drank it with pleasure.

Then Bhagavan left the cave for Ramanasramam, slowly wending his way down the steps. At the foot we all sat with him under a pipal tree around which there is a platform, close to Guha Namasivayas Cave. Satakopa Naidu of Bangalore brought some T puffed rice and groundnuts.

All the crowd sat there with Bhagavan and enjoyed this picnic. By this time it was getting dark, and we all started along the hill track leading to the town through Guha Namasivayas Cave and along the main road, and reached the Asramam about p. It was a marvel that Bhagavan did this trip all on foot in this way, the more so because his left big toe had become either dislocated or badly sprained on , and as a result thereof is still having some pain there.

Since Bhagavan left Skandasramam, he had gone there two or three times within about a year or two after his settling down here. But after that, i. Bhagavan was in great spirits and all the way down from Skandasramam to Ramanasramam he stopped once every few yards and related various incidents and made remarks about some trees having disappeared in the interval and about some cracks in the Virupakshi Cave, about the place where J adaswami rolled stones down on Bhagavan though Bhagavan would have it, it was all only in fun , and about the heavy rain and storm that came on one night and displaced huge boulders and created a spring for the convenience of Bhagavan and his followers.

Neither the head of the mutt nor the disciples knew anything about this man. But when Allama Prabhu went that way, Marula got up and prostrated himself at his feet and Allama Prabhu in turn took him up and embraced him. For, each knew the others worth. Only a jnani can recognise a jnani. One who indulges in kriya, charya, or yoga can be recognised by these activities which he goes through. But in the case of a jnani there is no such external thing by which we can recognise him.

I note this incident, the more particularly because some who come here also sometimes have found it difficult to recognise Bhagavans worth and have even asked me, What is there about this Bhagavan of yours which makes you think he is a great man or a realised soul?

He eats and sleeps and does everything else like us. Subbarayadu, the Deputy Superintendent of Police of this place, asked Bhagavan, I want to do nama smarana always. But I am also keen on getting higher education.

She is in the first year College class. What should I do?. Bhagavan: There is nothing contradictory between the two desires. Bhagavan did not answer.

But Frydman and I told the girl, It was said both could be done at the same time. Frydman added, Give the mind to studies and the heart to God. Mahatani asked in continuation of the above, If we want to succeed in any enterprise in the world, we must give our whole mind and heart to it.

Otherwise we cannot succeed. So it is rather impracticable to devote ones mind both to God and worldly activity. Bhagavan: If one keeps fixed in the Self, the activities will still go on and their success will not be affected. One should not have the idea that one is the doer. The activities will still go on. That force, by whatever name you may call it, which brought the body into existence will see to it that the activities which this body is meant to go through are brought about.

Mahatani was still not quite satisfied and thereupon Bhagavan referred him to read an article on renunciation which is found at the end of the Gita Press edition of Bhagavad Gita.

This article mentions seven stages of renunciation and Bhagavan said, Let Mr. Mahatani see if anything in this article appeals to him. I read out the whole article in the hall for the benefit of all, as Bhagavan desired. It is said there that one who has reached the seventh stage of renunciation will not feel even when his body is cut by a weapon or some other suffering is inflicted on him.

When this portion was being read Bhagavan remembered the following poem. Continuing this topic, I said, It is true such things are said in the books. But we see that the jnani feels pain. Even one like Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa felt pain when he had cancer of the throat and cried out, Why has mother sent this pain to me? Bhagavan: It may be like that in the beginning, due to long association or habit. But afterwards it will pass off. In this connection I must record that long ago, once when Bhagavan was suffering from some illness and I expressed concern, Bhagavan was pleased to explain to me that he felt the pain as in a dream and no more.

Again, people sometimes say that when they are at work there is no time to be thinking about God; their mind has to be on the job. Now, friend, I say to you once again that for all these different matters the remedy is the same. Seek first the kingdom of God. When that is done all things fall into their proper place and their proper perspective in our mind.

God is in you and in all your circumstances now, and you and your own individual little world are in God now. Realisation of that fact involves also the realisation that all things in your life are in their right place and order, that the law of God rules your whole life and circumstances. Nothing whatever can be excluded from the rule of that law when we realise that our life is actually lived in God.

Even when we are engaged in 24 our daily work it helps to think of God, to recognise His presence with us, within and around us and in our job. It helps even more to see the job as Gods work, for when we do so, we find new and better ways of doing it and are blessed in the doing. I read this out to Bhagavan and he approved of it and even asked me to show it to Mr.

Mahatani as bearing on last evenings discourse. Subbaramayya arrived. A few days ago Mr. Desai brought to Bhagavans notice a Gujarati book on Dakshinamurti Stotra, written by himself. And in connection with it Bhagavan asked me to make for Mr.

Desais benefit an English translation of Bhagavans Tamil preface to the Stotra. This led Smt. Nagamma to make a Telugu translation. Reading and explaining the above Telugu translation, Bhagavan told Mr. Subbaramayya practically all that he had told Mr. Desai before. The gist of it is this: Dakshinamurti, i. But that silence could not be understood except by the very advanced.

The others have to be told. And yet how is one to say in words that which God himself could not express? Sankara therefore advises the method of praising Dakshinamurti and with that as the ostensible object really seeks to explain that all is Brahman. In the first four stanzas he explains the nature of the world, since what prevents our knowing the reality is the world and if its i.

In the next four stanzas he explains the nature of the jiva. Then he explains the connection between the two and teaches that all is Self. Trying to explain the scheme and gist of Sankaras Dakshinamurti Stotra, I wrote the above brief preface. On such occasions, should I ask myself Who is it that experiences this bliss? Bhagavan: If it is the real bliss of the Self that is experienced, i. The question itself shows real bliss was not reached.

All doubts will cease only when the doubter and his source have been found. There is no use removing doubts. If we clear one doubt, another doubt will arise and there will be no end of doubts.

But if the doubter is found to be really non-existent, by seeking for the source of the doubter, then all doubts will cease.
