Talk 128

5th January, 1936
Talk 128.

There were some French ladies and gentlemen and American as visitors to the Asramam. They asked Sri Bhagavan several questions. Among them, one was: "What is the message of the East to the West?"

Maharshi: All go to the same goal.
To another question Sri Bhagavan said: "How do you say `I am'?
Do you take a light to find yourself? Or did you come to know it on reading books? How?"
The questioner said: "By experience."

Maharshi: Yes. Experience is the word. Knowledge implies subject and object. But experience is non-terminal, eternal.
