Ramana...Man is Sin

[Guest guest]

Devotee: What is yoga?

Bhagavan: Yoga {union} is necessary for one who is in a state of viola

{separation}. But really there is only One, If you realize the Self there will

be no difference.

D: Should we something read the Bhagavad-Gita ?

B: Always.

D: May we read the bible?

B: The bible and the Gita are the same.

D: The bible teaches that man is born in sin.

B: Man is sin. There is no feeling of being man in deep sleep. The

body-thought brings out the idea of sin. The birth of thought itself is sin.

D: The Bible says that the human soul may be lost.

B: The 'I' thought is the ego and that is lost. The real 'I' is 'I am that I

am.'
