D: Would it not be better if the saints mix with others?
M: There are no ‘others’ to mix with. The Self is the only Reality.
(From ‘Maharshi’s Gospel’: Bk. I, Ch. 6)
This is a very high status where all you see is God. So the concept of others did not exist. If others do not exist, then what do you read? Who do you talk with?
However most people do a con job. They say no one else exists for intellectual discussion but in reality when someone hurts them, or they have a need for sex or talking, they quickly forget that only God is there
So this kind of understanding is a con job. However Ramana Maharshi lived it – without getting angry or upset or doing anything for his body
