It is the urge, the hidden motive that matters, not the shape it takes. Whatever he does, if he does it for the sake of finding his own real self, will surely bring him to himself.

The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.

You want me to prove to you that I am trustworthy! How can I and why should I? After all, what I am offering you is the operational approach, so current in Western science.

When a scientist describes an experiment and its results, usually you accept his statements on trust and repeat his experiment as he describes it. Once you get the same or similar results, you need not trust him any more; you trust your own experience.

There should not be any shyness, shame or false modesty to chant the Divine Name. Call aloud the moment you feel like doing so. Do not suppress it. Let your heart break open and flow towards Him without any hindrance. Such spontaneous calls will certainly help to open the heart.

Question: Why is Self-Realization so difficult to attain?

Amma: In fact Self-Realization is easy because the Atman (Self) is the closest to us. It is the mind that makes it difficult. The scriptures and the great Masters always try to make it simple. They keep reminding you that the Self or God is your true nature which means it is not far away. It is the real you, your original face but you need to have faith to imbibe this truth. Faithlessness makes the path rigorous and faith makes it simple.

As long as you believe only the particular to be real, conscious and happy and reject the non-dual reality as something imagined, an abstract concept, you will find me doling out concepts and abstractions.

But once you have touched the real within your own being, you will find me describing what for you is the nearest and the dearest.

The ego says, 'I shouldn't have to suffer,' and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is. a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it.

Через несколько дней, на еще большей высоте у меня произошла еще более удивительная встреча. За поворотом я увидел перед собой Шиву и Парвати. Они проявились передо мной играющими в кости.
Шива улыбнулся мне и сказал Парвати: «Пришел хороший преданный. Давай встретим его, как подобает».
Она расстелила медвежью шкуру и пригласила меня присесть на нее. Когда я удобно расположился, она пошла, чтобы приготовить мне немного поясам. Это разновидность сладкой каши, которую едят на Юге. Я с удовольствием съел ее. У нее был божественный незабываемый вкус. Каждый раз, когда я вспоминаю этот случай, во рту появляется тот же вкус. Даже спустя десятилетия вкус все еще чувствуется.
Насладившись поясам и обществом Шивы и Парвати, я решил вернуться в долину. Отправившись к высотам Гималаев в поисках небес, я нашел Шиву и Паравати, которые лично оказали мне гостеприимство. Для меня этого было достаточно. Мне не нужно было продолжать путешествие. Я направился обратно, пока не достиг Джоши Матха, одного из ашрамов Шанкарачарьи. Я остался на несколько недель в пещере Аннапурны, - мне нужно было время, чтобы отдохнуть после столь трудного пути. Это та самая пещера, где, как говорят, Ади Шанкарачарья написал «Вивекачудамани» и свои комментарии к «Упанишадам».

Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi

See More
Though Bhagavan would make no adverse remarks about traditional practices, he did not support his devotees if they did so.
Echammal, one of his greatest devotees, told him with great pride about her puja with one lakh leaves.
Bhagavan remarked,
“Instead of pinching the plant, could you not pinch your own skin one lakh times and perform puja that way?”
A significant number of Bhagavan’s devotees were orthodox Brahmins. They ate in a separate enclosure in the dining room. Bhagavan never objected to this arrangement. But he did show his disapproval if any of the Brahmins looked down on members of the lower castes. A Brahmin woman in the Ashram avoided all non-Brahmins because she felt that any
contact with them would pollute her. If she were ever touched by a non-Brahmin, she would go up to Bhagavan and touch him to purify her. Once, on a jayanti day, someone touched her accidentally. She went to Bhagavan and said, Bhagavan, a Sudra has just touched me; please touch me to remove the impurity.
“Go away, I will not oblige you!” said Bhagavan angrily.
Bhagavan’s mother was a very orthodox lady, full of caste prejudices and superstitions. Bhagavan did not tolerate any of her ideas. He criticised her many times and was quite ruthless in destroying all that stood in the way of her emancipation from ignorance and fear. When she refused to
cook onions, which are taboo to a Brahmin widow, Bhagavan would show her one and say, “How mighty is this little bulb! It can stop my mother from going to heaven.”

Look at your mind dispassionately , this is enough to calm it. When it is quiet, you can go beyond it. Do not keep it busy all the time. Stop it – and just be. If you give it a rest, it will settle down and recover its purity and strength.
