Sri Ramana Maharshi
11-1-1946 Afternoon
Bhagavan quoted verses 5 and 52 from 'udal poyyuravu' and 36 from 'paayapuli" of Saint Thayumanavar. Their gist is as follows: "Bliss will follow if you are still. But, however much you may tell your mind about this truth, the mind will not keep quiet. It is the mind that won't keep quiet. It is the mind which tells the mind, "Be quiet and you will attain bliss."Though all the scriptures have said this and though we hear about it everyday from the great ones and though even our Guru says it, we are never quiet but stray into the world of maya and sense objects. That is why conscious, deliberate effort or meditation is required to attain that mauna state or the state of being quiet."
