Gems of Wisdom

[Guest guest]

DEAR READERS TODAY I READ THESE QUOTES OF SRI RAMANA in THE BOOKLET JNANA MARGA.

I thought they were wonderful.

1) it is not possible for anyone to do anything opposed to the ordinance of GOD

who has the ability to do everything. Therefore to remain silent at the feet of

God having given up all the anxities of the wicked,defective and delusive mind

is best.

2)Dont worry what you should do. Things will happen as they are destined to

happen. The prarabdha which created the body will make it go through whatever

activities it was meant for.What is destined as work to be done by you in this

life will be done by you whether you like it or not.

3)The ordainer controls the fate of souls in accordance with their past deeds

their prarabdhakarma. Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen- try

how hard you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen do what you may to

stop it. This is certain. The best course therefore is for one to be silent.

4)Success and failure are divinely ordained.

5)God will bear whatever burdens we put on him. All things are being carried by

the omnipotent power of a supreme God,instead of submitting ourselves also to it

WHY SHOULD WE BE ALWAYS PLANNING > WE SHOULD DO THIS OR THAT> KNOWING THAT THE

TRAIN CARRIES ALL THE LOAD WHY SHOULD WE TRAVELLING THEREIN SUFFER BY CARRYING

OUR SMALL BUNDLE ON OUR HEADS, INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT ON THE TRAIN AND BEING

HAPPY.
