Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
differs according to the sight of the person. The sight is from the eye.
The eye must be located somewhere. If you are seeing with the gross
eyes you find others gross. If with subtle eyes (i.e., the mind) others
appear subtle. If the eye becomes the Self, the Self being infinite, the
eye is infinite. There is nothing else to see different from the Self.
He thanked Maharshi. He was told that the best way of thanking
is to remain always as the Self.
Talk 107.
Later the Yogi asked: How is the spiritual uplift of the people to be
effected? What are the instructions to be given them?
M.: They differ according to the temperaments of the individuals and
according to the spiritual ripeness of their minds. There cannot be
any instruction en masse.
D.: Why does God permit suffering in the world? Should He not
with His omnipotence do away with it at one stroke and ordain the
universal realisation of God?
M.: Suffering is the way for Realisation of God.
D.: Should He not ordain differently?
M.: It is the way.
D.: Are Yoga, religion, etc., antidotes to suffering?
M.: They help you to overcome suffering.
D.: Why should there be suffering?
M.: Who suffers? What is suffering?
No answer! Finally the Yogi rose up, prayed for Sri Bhagavan’s
blessings for his own work and expressed great regret for his hasty
return. He looked very sincere and devoted and even emotional.

In continuation of dialogue 105: Uddalaka explained that all proceeds
from sat (as illustrated by deep sleep).
The body takes food. Food requires water. Water requires heat to digest
the food. (Tejo mulamanvichcha) It is sat parasyam devatayam (merged
in the Be-ing). If we are sat sampannah (merged in the Be-ing), how
is it that we do not realise it?
