“Wakefulness passes off, I am, the dream state passes off, I am, the sleep state passes off, I am. They repeat themselves and yet I am. They are like pictures moving on the screen in a cinema show. They do not affect the screen. Similarly also, I remain unaffected although these states pass off “
Sri Bhagavan never asked anything for himself but was always looking after the comforts of the devotees, and he did this to the day he passed away. He insisted upon giving darshan twice daily and thousands walked past the room where he lay.
He never did anything for himself or his own comfort, but he was always all consideration for others. The necessity for some document to help others after was explained to him and he saw this necessity and agreed. I repeat, it was an act of grace. Time itself is proving how wise he was.
“Before some stars appear, light appears. After they vanish from vision light alone remains. That is the state of a jnani – his birth and death.”
“The Mahatma who abides in the Self and gets release while yet alive, his life forces too get absorbed in the Self even here.”
