Real Answers for the Real Inquisitives

Or, rather, will He be there at all? Today, perhaps including us, we come across people with plentiful of desires and aspirations in this world of materialism. However, there are some who yearn for God and only God, nothing else and no one else. They might or might not have worldly comforts and affluence; but they have a true thirst for the One who is above everything. And, they do not bargain or compromise at any cost for this craving of theirs. It is this deterministic quest, which one day leads them to the true guide or Master, who answers their inquisitiveness in the real sense, with the real revelation! Let's listen to some of these true seekers of God and instil inspiration in ourselves to become one of such kinds!

After serving in a tank division during the First World War, Paul Brunton got inclined towards mysticism and met with the theosophists. After exploring extensively in Britain, he decided to travel to India. His quest brought him to Tiruvannamalai, where he met Ramana Maharshi. Brunton felt blessed when Sri Ramana imparted to him the wisdom he had been longing for. The conversation that took place was well recorded in the book “Conscious Immortality” (published by Ramana Ashram). How great Brunton felt at that time can be sensed from his own words– 'In the presence of the Maharshi I felt security and inward peace. The spiritual radiations that emanated from him can never be reported. Face to face with the Maharshi, sometimes I felt in the presence of a visitor from (higher) planet, at other times with a being of (superior) species.' (Ref: The Teachings of Ramana Maharshi, edited by Arthur Osborne)

What is Brahman?

The Taittiriya Upanishad includes an insightful Tdialogue between Bhrigu, the inquisitive student, and his father, Varuna, the enlightened teacher. Bhrigu approaches his father Varuna with a sincere urge to know about Brahman and requests him to teach Brahmavidya. Varuna replies, “Food, the vital breath, the mind, the intellect...– That from which all are born, That by which all sustain, and, That into which all finally merge– seek to know That. That is Brahman.”
