I appreciate your first chapter. I understand the notion of seeming to loose oneself in the midst of the thought process, and the experience of relying on the teacher. I must admit that I only skimmed the remaining chapters, but they seem quite useful to the reader. Part of the joy of being for me is to be without words and concepts, but I will look back into this when I feel more analytical. My older brother lived with Papaji for two years. You are both lucky to have spent time with him in person. It occurred to me again while reading that the experience of being with the Teacher is really the experience of being with your Self. This is why the Guru says not to become attached to His physical form. I know you know this well. Just felt like sharing.

Thank you for your infinite insight. One difference may be the Grace that is inferred from the silence of Ramana's gaze. Even a photograph of Ramana's face opens the heart in this, allowing a steady stream of devotion to the Eternal God, not limited to the form of the teacher. The personal Grace is an instrument of activating surrender. As we know Jnana and Bhakta are both equally true means of obtaining liberation. With Ramana, He instructs Jnana by way of Self Inquiry, but He also spontaneously encourages Bhakta. He is truly the perfect Guru.

Thank you for this writing. As a long time devotee of Ramana Maharshi and his teaching of self inquiry, and a recent investigator of the modern Christian presentation of Jesus, I have recently had some questions about the way in which Christians (in general) seem to miss a deeper truth by denying the relevance of other religions or spiritual practices. I have long known that Jesus is a great Self Realized teacher or Guru, but I have always understood his statement of "the father and I are one" not to be a reference of his physical form. I have also never been able to accept an eternal hell scenerio, as the Eternal Source would not intentionally confine a soul to a period of stagnation as a punishment. At any rate, your well researched, cited, and highly intelligent paper has validated many intuitive thoughts and feelings that I have been having. It is an important work, one that all Christians and all seekers should read. Thank you again for putting so much energy into such a specific expression about the Bible and the truth of Jesus.
31 p.
