Dearest Ramji;
I am sitting in bed listening to Swami Sarvapriyananda explaining that the Bhagavad Gita is the knowledge to end all knowledge, THE FINAL KNOWLEDGE, and that one should listen to it as if you were listening to God himself, because you are! It hit me that in the flow of my life and life in general, from day to day, in the warp and weft of all the currents of thought, action, relationship, plans, concerns, feelings and worries, THE FINALITY OF THIS KNOWLEDGE is easily overlooked.
I HAVE HEARD THIS KNOWLEDGE, CONTEMPLATED IT, UNDERSTOOD IT AND RECOGNIZED ITS TRUTH IN ME AS ME. THIS IS IT – THE END!
The stream of life goes on, but it is fundamentally empty of meaning or questions for me. There is no longer any fundamental mystery, no unplumbed ultimate question, no final drops of meaning, experience or realization to be squeezed out of it. I can simply leave it as it is, a scintillating kaleidoscope of life, light, color and activity, spinning around me like a hologram, but never touching me or disturbing me. I AM FREE OF IT ONCE AND FOR ALL!
OM, SHANTI, SHANTI, SHANT!
This is so quiet, so peaceful, so undramatic, that it is strangely easy to overlook, but this is the ultimate ‘achievement’ or goal of any human being. THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER TO BE DONE, except to attend to wheat is in front of me right now – my prarabdha karma. I feel very peaceful and unexcited by this fact only because WHO I AM IS PEACE, the final, natural and eternal peace of SELF.
OM TAT SAT
So much gratitude to you and appreciation for you Ramji. Thank you for everything that you have so generously shared and continue to share with me and all of us. I touch your feet.
Much, much Love,
D…..
Dear D…
Thanks so much! I’m so happy for you. And for me in so far as testimonials like this is the reason I teach. God is great! Love you!
Ramji
