Mr. Somerset Maugham, a well-known English author was on a visit to Ramana Maharshi. He also went to see Major Chadwick in his room and there he suddenly became unconscious.
Major Chadwich requested Ramana to see him. Ramana went into the room, took a seat and gazed on Mr. Maugham. He regained his senses and saluted Ramana. They remained silent and sat facing each other for nearly an hour. The author attempted to ask questions but did not speak. Major Chadwick encouraged him to ask.
Ramana said “All finished. Heart-talk is all talk. All talk must end in silence.” They smiled and Ramana left the room.

"Everying said about God is false.” Every name/word is more a distortion than a description"
The disciples knew what was coming next.
The master continued, “Words are only a distortion of a reality that can never be comprehended by reason.”
Frustrated, the disciples asked him what they should do.
“Just Be in silence.”
A young disciple ventured, “Why do you keep on talking then?”
The master smiled. “Ah, but you have not understood. Don’t just listen to my words. Listen to the silence.”
I have uploaded a video link of Jessica's testimony, One of our students who is selected for an Internship with the Park Hyatt - Hyderabad. Take a listen in and let me know what you think.
@PetesPlace we do all the good we can. By all the means we can. In all the ways we can. At all the times we can. To all the people we can. And will continue to do so as long as ever we can.
You develop and discover a great self-worth by doing something for others – not to ourselves!
