PERCEPTIONS ARE NEVER
THE TRUTH
When I first came to Bhagavan Ramana, I saw a bright light like the sun, with Bhagavan in the midst of it. Later on, I used to see a light between my eyebrows. On another occasion, I saw a big light come out from Bhagavan's head and fill the hall. In that light, everything disappeared, including Bhagavan. Only the feeling of 'I' remained, floating in a luminous void.
When I related these experiences to Bhagavan, he said, 'Yes, such visions do occur. To know how you look you must look into a mirror, but don't take that reflection to be yourself. What is perceived by our senses and the mind is never the truth. All visions are mere mental creations, and if you believe in them, your progress ceases. Inquire to whom the visions occur. Find out who ~is their witness. Stay in pure awareness, free from all thoughts. Don't move out of that state.'
