Last Update:
Rangan was soon steeped in troubles again: his wife was sick, his daughters were not married, he had lost his job and he could not pay the mortgage for his house. Bhagavan Sri Ramana said, “Come and stay with me.” This time, Bhagavan was very stern, because Rangan kept complaining. “Bhagavan, you are answering other’s questions, but you are not even talking to me. How friendly we have been! I am lamenting over my problems, but you do not even show the slightest compassion to me.” This was Rangan’s constant grouse.
Bhagavan Sri #Ramana remained like a rock. For nearly a month or two, day and night, this continued. Rangan’s constant lamentations were met by Bhagavan’s stoic silence.
One summer night, Rangan could not bear it anymore.
He fell at Bhagavan Sri Ramana’s feet and cried,
“I am not going to let go. You have to answer me.
I am suffering! Help! You do not even look at my face! Please!”
Bhagavan Sri Ramana helped him to his feet and pointed to the sky. In Tiruvannamalai, on clear, summer nights, the stars shine brightly like diamonds strewn all over the sky. Bhagavan Sri Ramana proceeded to give him a deep insight through the following dialogue:
Bhagavan Sri Ramana:
“Look up, see the smallest star there in our universe.
The sun is a large star, and compared to it, our earth is very small.
However, compared to that small star there,
our sun is very small.
Do you understand?”
Rangan: “Yes,
Bhagavan Sri Ramana.“So, when compared to that star,
if even the sun is so small,
how small is the earth?”
“It is very small, Bhagavan.”
“When compared to that star, how big is Asia?”
“It is even smaller, Bhagavan.”
“When compared to that star, what is India like?”
“Bhagavan, it is like a tiny dot.”
“When compared to that star, how small is Arunachala?”
“It is a very tiny dot, Bhagavan.”
“When compared to that star, how about Ramanasramam?
“It is an even tinier dot, Bhagavan.”
“Compared to that star what are you?”
This proved to be an eye opener for Rangan.
“All the time you think about you,
the tiniest spot.”
Bhagavan Sri Ramana concluded.
This immediately opened the floodgates of Rangan’s Heart;
he prostrated before Bhagavan Sri Ramana and wept profusely.
With Bhagavan’s grace, he had the ecstasy of enlightenment.
