About Talk 5

Mr. M. Frydman, an engineer, remarked on the subject of Grace, "A saltdoll diving into the sea will not be protected by a waterproof coat".It was a very happy smile and was applauded as such. Maharshiadded, "The body is the waterproof coat".

In this Mr. Harbhajan Singh elaborate the meaning which Shri Ramana Maharishi want to convey through this talk. Below is the Explanation by him.

*****
Ramana speaks from the point of view of Spirit, All Spirit - that All is Spirit (Jot in Punjabi). The physical forms we see - including our socalled body/minds - are also transformed forms of Spirit only. And so will one day transform back into Spirit. (I have explained it in my book Self Designed Universe, why and how all forms begin from Spirit and taking various forms will finally again merge into It. The same is being said by Ramana here, only I have given the reasons of its why and how in my book in addition. It is in fact the whole story of universal evolution.

In the above Talk the sea is likened to All Spirit and salt doll to our body (or matter or physical forms in general), which, as our body is made of Spirit is made of sea water itself (salt is only dried sea water). So will be eventually the protective coating as there is nothing else of which it could be made up of otherwise. So, as salt doll and protective coating will dissolve into the water of sea on immersion because of being made up of the same basic stuff, similarly, our body/minds will dissolve into the Spirit (Jot) as basically they are made up of the same stuff. (Man tu Jot saroop hein apna mool pachhan - oh my mind, you are really the Spirit - One, God - recognise it and realize it. Ramana is indirectly talking of this eventual realzation by all by the force of evolution so that none is left.
