Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
Talk 533.
Soon after the announcement in the newspapers that Gandhiji was going
to fast for twenty-one days in Yerwada jail, two young men came to
Sri Bhagavan; they were very excited.
They said “Mahatma is now fasting for twenty-one days. We want
permission from Sri Bhagavan to run up to Yerwada so that we may
also fast as long as he does. Please permit us. We are in a haste to
go.” Saying so they made ready to rush out.
Sri Bhagavan smiled and said, “It is a good sign that you have such
feelings. But what can you do now? Get the strength which Gandhiji
has already got by his tapasya. You will afterwards succeed.”

Sri Bhagavan often used to say, “Mowna is the utmost eloquence.
Peace is utmost activity. How? Because the person remains in his
essential nature and so he permeates all the recesses of the Self.
Thus he can call up any power into play whenever or wherever it is
necessary. That is the highest siddhi.”
Annamalai asked: Namadev, Tukaram, Tulsidas and others are said
to have seen Maha Vishnu. How did they see Him?
M.: In what manner? Just in the same manner as you see me now and I
see you here. They would also have seen Vishnu in this way only.
(He records that, on hearing it, his hairs stood on end and an intense
joy overpowered him.)
Talk 535.
Once ‘A’ asked: How can one be worshipful while engaged in daily
work?
Sri Bhagavan did not reply. Ten minutes passed. A few girls came for darsan
of Sri Bhagavan. They began to sing and dance. Their song was to the
effect: “We will churn the milk without losing thought of Krishna.”
Sri Bhagavan turned to the Swami and said that there was the reply
to his question.
This state is called Bhakti, Yoga and Karma.
