Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007  A visitor started wailing before Bhagavan (Sri Ramana Maharshi) that he was being quite crushed under the enormity of his sins. Bhagavan asked: “When you sleep, are you a sinner?†“No, I am just asleep.†“If you are not a sinner, then you must be good.†“No, I am neither good nor bad when I am asleep. I know nothing about myself.†“And what do you know about yourself now? You say you are a sinner. You say so because you think you are. Were you pleased with yourself, you would call yourself a good man and stop telling me about your being a sinner. What do you know about good and evil except what is in your mind? When you see that the mind invents everything, all will vanish, and you will remain as you are.†The Bhagavan I Knew by Voruganti KrishnayyaAs told to G. Vankatachalam.
