On 2002/10/23 07:35, Harsha posted thus to the K-list: Krishna Bhikshu (speaking of the Sage of Arunachala)
I asked Bhagavan: "Bhagavan, kindly show me a good
path." "What are you doing now ?" he asked. "When I am
in the right mood, I sing the songs of
Tyagaraja and I recite the holy Gayatri. I was also
doing some pranayama but these breathing exercises
have upset my health."
"You had better stop them. But never give up the
Advaita Dristhi (non dual vision)." At that time I
could not understand his words.
I went to Benares for a month, returned to Pondicherry
and spent five months there. Wherever I would go
people would find some fault or other with me:
"You are too weak, not fit for yoga, you do not know
how to concentrate, you cannot hold your breath, you
are unable to fast, you need too much sleep,
you cannot keep vigils, you must surrender all your
property . . ." Only Bhagavan asked for nothing, found
fault with nothing. As a matter of truth, there was
nothing in me that entitled me to his grace. But it
did not matter with Bhagavan. He wanted me, not my
goodness. It was enough to tell him "I am yours", and
for him to do the rest. In that way he was
unsurpassed.=====
