The Maharshi’s teachings flow out of his own original teachings, realization of truth, and to that extend he stands solitary as the peak of Arunachala itself. The reward which waits for those who practice the technique advocated by the Maharshi is nothing less than nirvana itself, at the most, and mental tranquility at the least. Those who think that the nirvana of the sage is a kind of never ending boredom should spend a few months in his society. The experience will correct their mistake and make good their ignorance.
Not only the effect of his presence but the shinning example of himself, left indelible marks on those who had the good fortune to spend some time with him. There was no use in saying why it could not be done. Here was one who had done it. One might tell oneself that the state could be nothing but one of blankness and convince oneself that it was not to be desired, but here was he, exhaling bliss which overflowed out of its superabundance to even the menest of us sitting there with him. It was marvelous! Was there ever another like him?
Those who feel disturbed within themselves at the great loss of the body of Bhagavan, should instantly direct their minds to the contemplation of the “hill of the Holy Beacon,’ which-Bhagavan has told us- waits to respond eagerly to even our weakest yearnings towards it.
