Sri Ramana Maharshi
10-4-1946 Morning
Dr. Masalavala gave Bhagavan a letter addressed to him by a friend of his. B perused it. Some portions of it were not cogent. With other portions there could be no quarrel. The letter said that all is contained in asti (sat), bhati (chit), priya (ananda), nam and rup, that the first three constitute reality, and the rest the fleeting and unreal; that jnana consists in seeing only the reality and not the nam-rup. that the first three constitute aham and the next two constitute idam (this). B agreed and said, "'I' and 'this' between them exhaust everything." The letter also said that seeing Brahman alone in everything and everywhere is jnanottara bhakti. With reference to this, B said, "This is a matter of mere words, whether you call the stage of seeing only Brahman, jnanottara-bhakti or bhakti-uttara jnana. In reality, saying 'We must see Brahman in everything and everywhere' is also not quite correct. Only that stage is final, where there is no seeing, where is no time or space. there will be no seer, seeing and an object to see. What exists then is only the infinite eye."
