"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

God Makes No Mistakes

Sri Ramana Maharshi

The following questions were asked by a lady Congress Party worker called Rameswari Nehru.

Q: What is Bhagavan's opinion about the entry of harijans into temples?

B: I have no separate opinion. All things are happening by the power of Go. All things which need to be done are done by God at the proper time, in the proper place and in the proper way.

Q: Is it good for one to do social service? Or is it good for one to go into a cave and meditate instead?

B: Both are good. But only he who has done service to himself knows how to serve society.

सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
