When Ramana says “you are the Self” or “you are the True Happiness,” he is not speaking as a separate realised person pointing to you. He is speaking as the Self within you — as that one, undivided Reality.
As Amma explains, the pointing is not from one to another. It is the Self speaking to the Self.
In Tiru, many new houses are under construction these days. It cannot be quiet. But what to do, something is always. Just next to the house where I stay, they plan to build a new one, I have heard. They are just digging for drainage. Gopika said it had been quiet here for the last two months.
I am going to Satsang today. I left at 09:30 to get a chair in the Ashram. The Ashram opens at 09:45. Satsang was relaxing as usual, just that I still have a little cold.
There was not much activity today. I felt like relaxing and needed to recover from my cold fully.
For dinner today, I went to Ananda Ramana, the restaurant opposite the Ashram. I had a delicious Thali.
In the afternoon, I was at the Ashram for Meditation and listening to the Tamil Parayan, which alternates between singing and chanting by women and men.
The day was passing by without any special features or turbulence. I worked on my laptop on different programs. I hope my cold will pass in the following days.
