Do not vainly argue through the reasoning power of the intellect, which ignores the Self and clings to the non-Self, that ‘reality exists’; ‘it doesn’t exist’; ‘it is form’; ‘it is formless’; ‘it is dual’; ‘it is non-dual’. Only the mauna that shines forever as the unfailing experience of being-consciousness-bliss is true religion.

~ from a forthcoming new translation of Guru Vachaka Kovai by Dr T. V. Venakatasubramanian, Robert Butler and David Godman

Hello,

I have been reading through your various blogs and every time I read of Bhagavan or his few powerful words I've felt compelled to say something ... but I never have any words.

Perhaps that is a lesson in itself. Thank you for all of this and compiling the various stories and teachings.
