Knowledge, who cares?


There is a story about a unique meeting between Saint Tukaram and Saint Ramdas.
This story is reported in the book "Master of Self Realizzation" written by Siddharameshwar Maharaji.



One day Saint Tukaram and Saint Ramdas met each other while standing on the opposite banks of a river.

With a gesture of his hand, Samartha Ramdas asked saint Tukaram "How much awakening have you brought about among the people ?" Saint Tukaram replied with a gesture forming his right hand in a fist , and putting back of it to his lips , to indicate that nowere had he found anybody who cared for awakening to the Self. then Tukaram Maharaji put the same question back to Samartha Ramdas , who then indicated thet there was no one awakening whatsoever. They continued on their way.

saint Tukaram has said "how can I descibe the obligations of the Saints? They are continuosly awakening me " Even though it is true that the two Saints are no longer with us in their bodily form they have given us all they wanted to teach in the books "Abhangagatha" and Dashbod".

The great wealth that they have handed over to us is the priceless legacy of these books. Whoever makes a claim that he is heir to their legacy will enjoy this priceless inheritance.


We are confident that the promise of a Saint can'not be taken as a joke.

We strongly believe that the real heir of a Guru is the disciple who enbody his theachings.

But we have to came back to the opening question....who cares?

How many disciples becames students?

The picture that we enclosed in this post is fine example of the divine conversation between adepts.

It's an oil painting made by A.R.M., it's fine grace is not adequately conveyed by the digital media.
