VIII
Varadachari

THOUGH I HAVE HAD unique opportunities of studying
some of the characteristic works of Sri Ramana, yet it was only in
April 1947 that I had the good fortune of beholding him face to
face. This darshan of the sage is an experience in itself. It is not
capable of being described. So very casual yet pregnant, so very
unobtrusive yet deeply significant, almost everything that occurs
in the Ashram seems to be inundated with the quiet consciousness
of the Master. Such indeed was my reflective impression. Pleasant,
deeply penetrating and inspiring somewhere in the depths, it
showed that the activity of the spirit is of a different order and
kind from what we know to be `activity'.
