The world is real for the ignorant
as well as for the wise;
for the ignorant the real
is measured by the world,
for one who knows
the real has no limits and
is the foundation of the world.
Both say ‘I’ referring to themselves,
the ignorant and the one who knows.
For the ignorant the self is defined by the body,
the wise knows that within the body the
unlimited Self shines with its own splendour.
Ramana Maharshi (1879 – 1950)

Wherever you are is home
And the earth is paradise
wherever you set your feet is holy land…
You don’t live off it like a parasite.
You live in it, and it in you,
Or you don’t survive.
And that is the only worship of god there is.
~Wilfred Pelletier and Ted Poole

There are many of his teachings in pdf free online, simple and beautiful, 15 years ago i couldn’t find anything on him now I am happy to see his books. His impact on development of human spirituality was huge (for example the enlightenment intensives created by Charles Berner), jet his name was not mantioned much untill recently, or maybe I am mistaking. Don’t mind me philosophing a little I am grateful for you reminding me of this.
Kokolo! You are very welcome. God bless you.
