Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
Then, Gurupadesa - “Vang manasi sampadyate, manah prane,
pranastejasi, tejah parasyam devatayam iti.”
D.: If so, a Jnani or an ajnani dies in the same manner. Why is an
ajnani reborn, whereas a Jnani is not?
M.: Just as an innocent man satyabhisandha is not affected by the test
of touching red hot iron but a thief is affected, so also the sadbrahma
satyabhisandha, i.e., a Jnani, enters into sat consciously and merges,
whereas the other enters unaware and is thrown out unawares also.

Two gentlemen from Ambala (the Punjab) had been here for a few
weeks. Just before taking leave of Sri Bhagavan one of them asked
how he should remove the spiritual drowsiness of his friends or of
other people in general.
M.: Have you removed your own ‘spiritual drowsiness?’ The force
which is set up to remove your own ‘drowsiness’ will also operate
in other centres. There is the will-power with which you can act
on others. But it is on a lower plane and not desirable. Take care
of yourself first.
D.: How to remove my own ‘drowsiness’?
M.: Whose ‘drowsiness’ is it? Enquire. Turn within. Turn all your
enquiries towards search for Self. The force set up within you will
operate on others also.

An American lady asked Bhagavan what his experiences of samadhi
were. When suggested that she should relate her experiences and ask
if they were right, she replied that Sri Bhagavan’s experiences ought to
be correct and should be known, whereas her own were unimportant.
She thus wanted to know if Sri Bhagavan felt his body hot or cold
in samadhi, if he spent the first three and a half years of his stay at
Tiruvannamalai in prayers and so on.
