=================================================

Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 12 `On Shakti'

 

V26

The one transcendent power is known by two names, the Self, because

it is the ground, and Power, because of the work of creation.

 

V27

To those who regard movement alone as the mark of power, one has to

point out that there is one supreme reality as the base.

 

Commentary

Ramana points out the fallacy of thinking that the activity alone is

power. Then there should be two realities, the unmoving, unchanging

eternel source and the movement. Reality is only one and, as

explained in the earlier verse, it is termed ground or activity with

reference to the function.

 

V28

The one supreme Reality is termed as `Shakti' by some, as `Self' by

other learned ones and by yet others as a `Person'.

Commentary

`The reality is only one – the learned call it by different names'.
