My gurus guru although my guru says he’s not the guru but just his
Thank you 💖
“Shri Ramana Maharshi was one of the most significant people of this century. He was not a master; that’s why people don’t know him as they know George Gurdjieff or J. Krishnamurti. They don’t even know him as they know Sri Aurobindo or P. D. Ouspensky who were only teachers - profound teachers, but not mystics.
“Ramana Maharshi was a silent pool of energy. Every morning he used to sit for a silent satsang, communion. He never talked much, unless asked something. Then too his answer was very short - having profundity, but you had to look for it. There was no explanation in it. His literature is confined to two, three small booklets.
“His teaching was mostly to be in silent communion with the disciples. Naturally, very few people were benefited by him. But every morning he was sitting, people were sitting, and a cow would come and stand outside, putting her neck through the window, and she would remain standing there while the satsang lasted. It must have continued for years.
People came and went, new people came, but the cow remained constant, coming at the exact time, never late.
“As the satsang would disperse she would move away.
“One day she did not appear, and Shri Ramana said, “Today satsang cannot be held, because my real audience is absent. I am afraid either the cow is very sick or she has died, and I have to go and look for her.” He lived on a mountain in the south of India, Arunachal. The cow belonged to a poor woodcutter who lived near the ashram. Ramana left the temple where they used to meet, went to the woodcutter and asked, ‘What happened? The cow has not come today for satsang.’
“The woodcutter said, “She is very sick and I am afraid she is dying, but she goes on looking out of the door, as if she is waiting for someone. Perhaps she is waiting for you, to see you for the last time. Perhaps that is why she is hanging around a little longer.”
“Ramana went in and there were tears in the eyes of the cow. And she died happily, putting her head in the lap of Ramana Maharshi. This happened just in this century. Ramana declared her enlightened, and told his people that a beautiful memorial should be made for her.
It is very rare for human beings to be enlightened; it is almost impossibly rare for animals to become enlightened, but the cow attained.
“She will not be born again. From the body of a cow she has bypassed the whole world of humanity, and she has jumped ahead and joined with the buddhas. So once in a while - there are a few instances only - it has happened. But that cannot be called the rule; it is just the exception.
“Things are, but they do not know that they are. Animals are, they know that they are, but they don’t have the intelligence to ask who they are. And it is not something to be wondered about. Millions of human beings never ask the question - that is the third category.
Man is, is aware that he is, and is capable by birth to inquire who he is. So it is not a question of learning, cultivation, education; you bring the quest with you. You are the quest.
“Your society destroys you. It has very sophisticated ways and means to destroy your quest, to remove the question from your being, or at least cover it up."
Who does this remind us of? Oh right...Jesus Christ!
Yes to some degree, though Jesus was not enlightened
@@cspace1234nz sure he was. A few were: different scales by which to measure.

🙏🙏 very nice
Beautiful
Are there any gurus like him today that I can meet?
probably a few, but I haven't seen any on the internet lol
Better to meet the guru within - only you can ensure that you practice correctly, and with diligence
Bhagavan is matchless in all ways. However, there are a few people who follow his lineage. Mooji is one.
There’s a retreat centre called AHAM in North Carolina which teaches Sri Ramana’s self enquiry and the staff live in abidance of the Self. I hope this helps.
@@ETHANR26 Truer words never spoken, or rather, also spoken by the likes of Ramana. A being who appears and disappears is not what one needs, but that which ever is right before, or rather behind, the eyes.
Oh, meant to respond to Ethan Rose's true words. And as far as lineage, Ramana repeatedly denied that he belonged to a school or lineage. He said his guru was the Self (Talks 291)
