Product Description

Naturally, one who has arrived to the ultimate peak of consciousness will most probably decide not
to bother with the world anymore. He has suffered for hundreds of lives living with these miserable
people, living with all kinds of misunderstandings, groping in the dark and finding nothing. And these
blind people who have never seen the light all believe they know what light is.
From ancient days, a philosopher has been defined as a man who is blind, in a house that is
completely dark, searching for a black cat which is not there.
And the search goes on….
After a long, long, tedious journey, someone has come to the sunlit peak of relaxation, for the
first time is at ease with existence, and decides not to get involved with all kinds of blind people,
prejudiced people, deaf people who are going to misunderstand you, who are going to misinterpret
you, who are going to crucify you, who are going to poison you, who are going to do every nonsense
that is possible against you. Why bother?
You cannot blame those nine hundred and ninety-nine mystics who decide to remain silent. It is not
their responsibility, it is not their commitment. They owe nothing to the world; why should they get
unnecessarily into the mess, into the madhouse the world is?
Raman Maharshi remained in his cave in the mountains of Arunachal his whole life, unconcerned
with the world. He simply tired of it. Naturally, nobody is against him.
He never says anything against any superstition, against any belief that is based on lies. He never
criticizes any religion, any politics. He is not a revolutionary. He is not interested in transforming
human beings, creating a better society.
He is not even a little bit interested to share his experience. He is just like a well – if you are thirsty,
you will have to find the way, you will have to find a bucket, you will have to find a rope, you will have
to reach the water. The water is not interested in you or in your thirst.
Naturally there is nobody who will criticize Raman Maharshi. He lived silently, peacefully – not
against any vested interest, not in any way proposing a new man, a new humanity. He is fulfilled
and contented; he is finished with the world.
