The paramount task

meditation 1 Minute

This is third chapter of Ramana Gita. I write according to Ramana Gita not any comment from me. but as practically I found it very real.

In this third chapter we record ,for the delight of the wise ,the conversation between Daivarata and Acharya Ramana.

Daivarata: In samsara ( This world) what is the paramount task of a man? May Bhagavan be pleased to decide and explain it to me?

Bhagvan: The aspirant has to discover his own real nature which is basis of all actions and there fruit.

Daivarata: What in brief is means to know one’s own nature ? what is the effort that can bring about the sublime inner vision?

Bhagvan: Strenuously ( Reguiring exertion) withdrawing all thoughts from sense objects,one should remain fixed in steady non-objective enquiry.This ,in brief ,is the means of knowing one’s own real nature; this effort alone brings about the sublime inner vision.

Daivarata: O Best of Sages ,will Niyamas (rules of conduct)continue to aid Spirtual effort,until success in yoga is achieved ?

Bhagvan : Niyamas do help the earnest efforts of aspirants .These Niyamas drop away of their own accord from those who have attained success and have nothing more to do.

Daivarata: Does repetion of mantra brings about the same result as the steady practice of pure, non-objective enquiry?

Bhagavan: Success attends the earnest seekers who, incessantly and with steay mind ,repeat mantra and Pravana. by repetition of mantra and pranva alone ,onr’s mind is withdrawn from senses non-

-objects and become identical with one’s own real being.

This marvellous conversation took place on seventh day of July ,1917.

This is the third chapter entitled “paramount task ” in Sri Ramana Gita.,the science of Brahman and the Scriptur of yoga composed b Ramana’s disciple Vasishta Ganapati.

I am from India and now living in the U.S. In India, I lived with a Holy Saint named St. Nikka Singh Ji. He was from the Sikh tradition. I learned from him, Shri Guru Granth Sahib, the Bhagavad Gita, and so many scriptures. I knew the art of meditation. He told me that learning of scripture is not enough, but understanding self-knowledge is necessary. And according to his instructions, I was practising meditation and got the experience of bliss, which we can not explain in words. It's the last knowledge of Vedanta. The main thing that I want to share is that, as I did in my life, the most important thing is to do meditation daily. Real life is our eternal life. We should sit down and start to look at our thoughts. By regular watching, we can find lasting peace, which is our natural state. Then there is no stress, anxiety, or problem because, in this method, we are coming out of the field of our minds. Our mind creates problems and then wants to solve them. But the reason is itself a problem. By the observation flow, the mind starts to delete, leaving the self or ‘eternal peace ‘.
