Interesting quote.

The idea that the Bhagavan was a "someone" who had a body is a

misunderstanding. This misunderstanding

is a direct indication of the level of understanding and level of inquiry

practice. One who is firmly founded

in inquiry intuits the distinction between bodily based understanding and

Bhagavan nature.

It isn't something that can be argued, only real practice will reveal

Bhagavan's timeless existence.

Once somebody told Papaji that they really respected him, "especially

because he 'was' a disciple of Sri Ramana". Instantly he roared:

Young lady correct your Grammar! What do you mean I 'was' a disciple of

Ramana? I am his disciple and he is my Master! Who do you think gives

these Satsangs? If I thought it was me speaking for just one instant I

would surely be destroyed. It is he who is speaking to you!

So much power released that the whole room quaked and at least half the

people broke out crying and the other half disappeared into the Silence. To

hear this 80 year old grand Master take zero credit for his peerless stature

was too much for most of us. Without doubt Papaji surrenders all to his

Beloved Ramana.

The other half of the story is that the woman had just asked a question

about what had happened with Andrew Cohen, a disciple of the Master who had

spent a few weeks with the him and then later turned against Sri Poonjaji.

It seems that Sri Poonjaji was indicating that poor Andrew's obvious lack of

respect is an indication that his cracked Surrender falls far short of being

helpful. May we all learn from Andrew's faux pas.
