KastvaM KohaM? Who are You, Who am I?

Who are you ? Who am I ? Who is my father ? Indeed who is my mother ? From where have we come ? Think over, my friend. -says Shankara in Bhaja Govindam.

Masquerade Party is on. You do not know who the other person is but know yourself. In life, the great party, rarely one or two know who they are. Ramana in last century was one such great man.

Note:
3rd, June, 2008 :1. This questioning process by Shankaracharya is like taking the bull by the horn and make the mind submit. Ramana has a easier method by coaxing the bull with luscious green grass. Deham Naaham Koham Soham.(see a later blog) When thought arises, turn back the mind to its source by the questioning.

2. When a person dies we cry. He will be born again. So why cry ? If he does not come again why cry again? You have to rejoice! Happy is the man who knows Who He is behind the body (mask). He is neither born nor does he die.
