PAUL BRUNTON'S RECOLLECTIONS OF SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI
- This man has freed himself from all problems, and no woe can touch him.
- In this extraordinary peace, I find a sense of exaltation and lightness. Time seems to stand still. My heart is released from its burden of care.
- I enjoy an ineffable tranquility merely by sitting for a while in the neighbourhood of the Maharshi.
- A force greater than my rationalistic mind awes me until it ends by overwhelming me.
- Day after day brings fresh indications of the greatness of this man. His silence and reserve are habitual. One can easily count up the number of words he uses in a single day.
- It is clear that his mere presence provides many with spiritual assurance.
- There are moments when I feel this power of his so greatly that I know that he has only to issue the most disturbing command and I will readily obey it. But the Maharshi is the last person in the world to place his followers in the chain of servile obedience, and allows everyone the utmost freedom of action. In this respect he is quite refreshingly different from most of the teachers and yogis I have met in India.
- I have been led to one of the last of India’s spiritual supermen.
- I like him greatly because he is so simple and modest, when an atmosphere of authentic greatness lies so palpably around him.
- Each phrase that fell from his lips seemed to contain some precious fragment of essential truth. In the presence of the Maharshi one felt security and inward peace. The spiritual radiations that emanated from him were all penetrating.
- He was the most understanding man I have ever known.
- Upon all the evidence one fact is incontrovertibly clear that he was a pure channel for a Higher Power.
