Sri Ramana Maharshi
25-12-1946
Bhagavan asked him, “Have you not got eyes?”
He replied, “I want the eye which would enable me to see what is the body and what is the soul.”
Bhagavan: You say this. You have a body and you say ‘my body’, etc. How do you see all this?
Visitor: With the fleshy eye (oonakkan). I lead the life of egoism.
Bhagavan: Exactly. So, to see wherefrom this ahamkara rises and to go back to its source is the only way. You wanted the way. This is the only way, to go back by the same way by which you came. You said the way which the great ones of old trod. They all used only this way. Because you asked ‘Which way?’, I replied ‘The way by which you came’.
