Poonjaji was quite arrogant when he met Ramana Maharshi for the first time. After all, he had regular exchanges with Lord Krishna who appeared before him on occasions. Ramana Maharshi smiled and asked him, “Is Krishnaji here with us right now?” Poonjaji had to admit that he wasn’t. “What kind of God is only present some of the time?” Ramana asked. This resonated with him, and he went back to the drawing board and had a more lasting breakthrough soon after.
The same can be said about the “I Am” moment. We all have been in these serene moments when life simply flows through us. Yet, how come that the interferences and distractions return? Maybe we can never completely step out of conditioned mind, but we can look at the interference in the present moment and see conditioned mind as is. How do you bring light to a building that had been in darkness for decades? You open the door and the windows!
