Sri Ramana Maharshi


1 comment:

  1. If we remember, this blog started in December 2016 and the initial 4 posts were only on the essence of the Gospel of Sri Ramana posted today.

    There were posts on search for happiness by Swami Satchidananda and then by Swami Krishnananda and then by Swami and then in 2 subsequent posts, the essence of all these three posts were covered.

    Essentially, man wants to be happy.

    Each and every action from the morning till night undertaken by a man is ultimately to get happiness.

    But unfortunately, Man being a reservoir of Ananda, he forgets the treasure of bliss and happiness within him and searches for the same outside him, in the world.

    Man is continuously searching for permanent happiness in all impermanent things/ perishing objects/ dying human beings.

    Swami says (A poem written by Swami, with the post titled divine call, posted in December 2016, may be referred), " enough, don't waste your life reaching for peace outside. Don't I address you as ananda swarupalara?, You are embodiment of Ananda and at the end of several births of all your pursuits, when you reach the goal of your existence, you will realize that you have discovered the real peace ONLY WITHIN YOU, which was always there, right from the moment I sent you on this earth, in your very first birth.

    As the author was explaining to his mother today, " When I know I have to start from Ghubra and reach Russayl, I know my route and my goal and I take a straight high way route and reach in 25 minutes. I would be stupid if I go to alkhoud, barkha and then come back to Russayl. if this is true, then in my spiritual journey, why should I take a long route and keep moving for several births?? Should I not run and reach the goal ( inner peace) right now, here??"

    Think!!!!

    Love
