Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q. I have been reading the "Five Hymns". I find that the hymns are addresses to Arunachala by you. You are an advaitin. How do you then address God as a separate Being?
M. devotee, God and the hymns are all the Self.
But you are addressing God. You are specifying this Arunachala Hill as God.
You can identify the self with the body. Should not the devotee identify the Self with Arunachala?
If Arunachala be the Self why should it be specially picked out among so many other hills? God is everywhere. Why do you specify Him as Arunachala?
What has attracted you from Allahabad to this place? What has attracted all these people around?
Sri Bhagavan.
How was I attracted here? By Arunachala. The Power cannot be denied. Again Arunachala is within and not without. The Self is Arunachala.
