Visions

" God vision is only vision of the Self objectified as the God of one's own faith. Know the Self .
Visions are not external. They appear only internally. If external they must
assert themselves without there being a seer. In that case what is the warrenty
for their existance? The seer only.
The seer alone is 'pratyaksha' . All other perceptions are only secondary
knowledge. The present super-imposition of the body as 'I' is so deep-rooted,
that the vision before the eyes is considered 'pratyaksha' but not the seer
himself.
A stanza in Thevaram says : ' O sages, eager to get over all misery, worry not
about inferances and examples ! Our light is ever shining forth from with in !
With mind clear, live in God !'
This is direct perception. Will the common people admit it? They want God to
appear in front of them as a bright Being mounted on a bull. Such a vision once
originated must also end. It is therefore transient."

........ Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi.
