' Who One Is '...

And so I come back to the statement that going to India, or going to any other place, in quest of spiritual enlightenment is not so important as going inside one's self, and discovering Who one is.

Moreover, if some have gone to India to look for an incarnate Master, others have gone to Palestine to look for a disincarnate one.

There they lingered at the holy places, the sacred monuments, the historic ground where Jesus walked and talked..

But, the attempts of both kinds of seekers bear real fruit only as and when they lead to the Seeking Within, for the indwelling Master, in the one case, or the indwelling Christ in the other.

Yet, this final search the seeker could have begun anyway without leaving home.

Indeed, Ramana Maharshi himself once said aloud:

"Had I known how easy it was, I would never have gone away from home."
