*Points to Ponder* - Ramana Maharshi



SUFFERING


Question: When one person does good deeds,

suffering comes to him. But another person 


who does many bad deeds may not suffer at all.



 Why is this?



Bhagavan: Everyone is getting happiness and


suffering as a result of the karma which has 


been carried forward from previous births. 



Accepting both patiently and remaining in the



 Self, doing whatever actions one happens to be


engaged in without seeking happiness or 


suffering in them, that alone is good.



The inquiry 'Who am I?' leads to the cessation 



of suffering and the acquisition of the supreme 



bliss.



Living by the Words of Bhagavan p 245

*Words of Wisdom* - Ramana Maharshi



Just as the spider emits the thread (of the web) out of itself and again withdraws it into itself, likewise the mind projects the world out of itself and again resolves it into itself. When the mind comes out of the Self, the world appears. Therefore, when the world appears (to be real), the Self does not appear; and when the Self appears (shines) the world does not appear.
(From 'Who Am I?', Question 8)
