Deep peace of the running waves to you.
Deep peace of the quiet ground to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
And deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Sun, Moon, and Stars pour their healing light upon you.
Deep Peace to you.

Many of us might have heard about Ramana Maharishi of Thiruvannamalai. His famous book, "Who Am I" is really a master piece for spiritual aspirants. But, it is not easy to follow the method mentioned  by Ramana. He has reached such exalted heights of Adwaita, he could practically adopt the philosophy in his own  life. For many number of years, he lived  as a pure consciousness and not as  a physical entity. When he was   about to shed the human coil, many devotees wept and pleaded with him, 'not to leave them. Bagawan said, "Where I can go?  I am always Here. Such was his  practical experience and hence he never cared for the cancerous growth on his hand and the pain etc. He was immersed in  "Self Consciousness  for Ever" Likewise  though Swami is seen in the physical form, he is always in "Nirvikalpa Samadhi". This revelation is contained in a "Nadi or palm leaf prediction of Bagawan. Swami himself has said once, "I am looking at everything as a 'passing show"  in front of Me. Nothing impresses Him. For the sake of Humanity and  to  keep the promise contained in  the "Bagawat Gita", "Paridranaya Sadhunam, Vinachaya  Chaduskrutam, Dharma Samstapanarthaya Sambavami Yuge Yuge, Swami has incarnated for the very purpose as mentioned  above. "For the protection of  virtuous  and for the destruction of Evil QUALITIES(He has not come to  destroy the EVIL DOERS) as  done  in the previous Avatars like Shri Rama or Shri Krishna. If  the evil doers  are to be eliminated,  then the entire humanity will vanish. Everybody is a mixture of Good and  Evil. The Evil doers will be corrected  and transformed  in this  Avatar. Hence we  can never describe  Swami except though His own sayings. Sairam.
