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

Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 14 `Jivan Mukti'

 

V9

In some cases, the one liberated while in the body may in time, due

to ripening of penance, even obtain the power of intangibility while

the form remains.

 

Commentary

Those whose abidance is steady are always performing penance. Why

then are the expressions `in time' and `ripening' used? An

explanation is being give about a particular power which some

liberated ones have. It cannot be because of their difference from

other liberated ones for it has been reiterated in the earlier

verses that the state of the liberated ones is identical. Why the

difference? For this, one could usefully refer to an earlier doubt

of Ganapati Muni as to whether the previous desires would be

fulfilled even after Self-knowledge.*

The answer was that they may be fulfilled but it would not be a

matter for elation. For, the liberated view everything neutrally.

>From this one could say that the earlier yogic practice with a

desire for tangibility might get fulfilled in time and lead to the

existence of the power in a liberated one though it would not make

any difference to his state.

[*Ramana Gita Ch1,v8]

 

V10

Even invisibility might arise. The one endowed with such power

sports as he likes as consciousness only.

 

Commentary

In the earlier verse the power of being outside the pale of touch is

referred to. In this verse the power to remain out of sight is

mentioned. One should, however, remember that absence of such powers

does not make any difference in the state of the liberated one.
