Reminiscenses of devotees of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Thursday 19 July 2007. 1 This happened about two years before Bhagavan's Maha. Bhagavan stopped, looked at him and exclaimed, "Look, is it not Chinnappaya. Yes, it is me, Swami. The villager replied with devotion and respect. Bhagavan asked him, "How are you? You have come to see me? Very well. But what is in your pot? Have you brought some koolu. Yes Swami, I have brought some koolu. Do I belong to you? Did you care for me when I was on the hill? 3 In fr...

Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. 28th January, 1936. Mrs and Mr. Kelly, an elderly couple from America, and others of their company desired to know what they should do to gain concentration in face of discomforts of sitting and the sting of mosquitoes, etc. The discomforts will not worry you if your concentration is right. Realisation must be amidst all the turmoils of life. If you make yourself comfortable and go to bed you fall asleep. Face the troubles but keep yourself steady in meditation.

Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi: Talk 151
http://talks-with-ramana-maharshi.blogspot.com/2008/02/talk-151.html
Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. 31st January, 1936. The American gentleman is a little hard of hearing. Being accustomed to be self-reliant from his youth he naturally feels worried on account of his hearing becoming defective. You were not self-reliant; you were ego-reliant. It is good that ego-reliance is banished and that you become truly Self-reliant. The questioner said that he appreciated the humour, but that still his self-respect suffered.

Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. 27th January, 1936. A Gujerati gentleman said that he was concentrating on sound - nada. And desired to know if the method was right. Is one of the several approved methods. The adherents claim a very special virtue for the method. According to them it is the easiest and the most direct method. Just as a child is lulled to sleep by lullabies, so nada. Soothes one to the state of samadhi. Takes the devotee into the Lord's Abode in a pleasing manner. Nada.

Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. 23rd January, 1936. Mr P Brunton asked Sri Bhagavan if the Hill here is hollow. Say so. When it is said that the Heart is a cavity , penetration into it proves it to be an expanse of light. Similarly the Hill is one of light. The caves, etc., are covered up by the Light. Are there caves inside? In visions I have seen caves, cities with streets, etc., and a whole world in it. Are reputed to be there. Are there only Siddhas. Just like this world. I do not know. Is it not the...

Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi: Talk 146
http://talks-with-ramana-maharshi.blogspot.com/2007/08/talk-146.html
Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. 26th January, 1936. In reply to Miss Leena Sarabhai, a cultured Indian lady of high rank, Sri Bhagavan said: The state of equanimity is the state of bliss. The declaration in the Vedas `I am This or That', is only an aid to gain equanimity of mind. So, it is wrong to begin with a goal: is it? It is one step to realisation. Does anyone deny his own existence? Because of the thoughts - the mind. If you say because of the world around us, then how do you know that you existed...
