Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
D.: The Bahaists read others’ minds.
M.: Yes. That is possible. Your thoughts were read by another. There
must be one to know your mind. That is the Truth always present
which is to be realised. Truth does not waver.
D.: Show me Grace.
M.: Grace always is, and is not given. Why do you consider the pros and
cons of Bahaullah or others being incarnations or otherwise? Know
Thyself. Regard everything as Truth. Regard him also as the Truth. Can
he exist besides Truth? Your beliefs may change but not Truth.
D.: Show me the truth of Siddhanta, etc.
M.: Follow their instructions and then if you have doubts you may
ask. Adherence to those instructions will take you only to mouna.
Differences are perceived in external objects only. If you follow
their instructions all differences will be lost. No one but the son
of a king can be called a prince; so also only That which is perfect
is called Perfection.
One should not be content with mere discipleship, initiation,
ceremony of surrender, etc.; these are external phenomena. Never
forget the Truth underlying all phenomena.
D.: What is the significance of the Silence of Dakshinamurti?
M.: Many are the explanations given by scholars and sages. Have it
any way you please.
Talk 134.
14th January, 1936
A question about the Heart was raised.
Sri Bhagavan said that one should seek the Self and realise it. The
Heart will play its part automatically. The seat of realisation is the
Heart. It cannot be said to be either in or out.
D.: Did Bhagavan feel the Heart as the point of Realisation in his
first or early experience?
M.: I began to use the word after seeing literature on the subject. I
correlated it with my experience.
