Description
Cohen sat before the Master at the time ‘Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi’ was recorded. He listened intently to the teachings he heard and dedicated his life to their fulfillment, under the guidance of his Guru.
In ‘Reflections on Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi’, Cohen has plucked out the gems from this compendious volume that comprehensively represent the salient teachings of the Master and classified them in separate chapters under subjects most pertinent to the earnest seeker of Truth.
The notes that follow the text are full of insights and practical guidance to the sincere aspirant who wishes to tread the path taught and lived by Sri Ramana Maharshi.
FROM AUTHOR'S PREFACE:
To write a commentary on Sri Ramana Bhagavan’s words, which are deemed to be lucidity itself, may seem to be a superfluous labour; yet there are thousands of studious seekers who have not had the privilege of hearing the teaching direct from the Master’s lips, who would feel benefited and indeed, happy to receive an exposition of it from those who have.
For the sake of these I have culled from the compendious work, now the well-reputed Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, such gems and in such numbers as in my humble opinion can fairly and comprehensively represent the teaching, adding my own reflections, as “Notes”, to each quotation which I have named “Text”, to indicate its origin. I have, moreover, sifted and classified them in separate chapters so as to facilitate the study of each individual subject.
