POINTERS FROM RAMANA MAHARSHI, Read and Reflect by Ramesh S. Balsekar
The Sage of
Arunachala preferred to teach in silence. But when he did use words, he used
only a few words and he used them with telling effect. What struck you
most about what he said was the authority of knowing that backed each word
uttered.
Though all
of what Ramana said was rich with meaning, if one has to grasp the very core of
his teaching, one needs to sieve and filter, doggedly staying focused on the
very fundamentals of what he taught. Even those who have read many books
on Ramana's teachings will find this book different: focused on the ultimate
happiness as one's very nature.
More
importantly, this book brings across points about Ramana's sayings which have
not been given adequate attention and significance. To give three
instances:
*
The very thought of God is Divine Favour. It is by God's grace that a
thought of God arises in the mind.
*
There is absolutely no need to hurry about anything: everything must happen
only at the precise time appointed by the Universal Law.
*
The ego of the sage is like the remnants of a burnt rope.
Pointers From Ramana Maharshi brings
you the teachings of Advaita Master Adi Shankar as expounded by Ramana
Maharshi, distilled to their very quintessential understanding, by an
experienced writer like Ramesh S. Balsekar.
