\u00c0 l’\u00e2ge de 16 ans, alors qu’Il n’\u00e9tait m\u00eame pas conscient du fait que \u00ab\u00a0C’est la pratique spirituelle de la qu\u00eate du Soi qui conf\u00e8re directement l’exp\u00e9rience du Soi\u00a0\u00bb, Sri Ramana s’est lanc\u00e9, sans intention pr\u00e9alable, dans cette pratique spirituelle rare! Ce jour-l\u00e0, comme s’il \u00e9tait sur le point de mourir, une grande peur de la mort le prit tout d’un coup. \u00c0 cause de cela, une impulsion \u00e0 scruter la mort surgit \u00e9galement spontan\u00e9ment en Lui. Il n’\u00e9tait pas si d\u00e9rang\u00e9 par la mort imminente qu’il aurait souhait\u00e9 en informer les autres. Il d\u00e9cida de l’accueillir calmement et de r\u00e9soudre le probl\u00e8me tout seul. Il se coucha, \u00e9tirant ses membres comme un cadavre, et commen\u00e7a \u00e0 scruter la mort, face \u00e0 face.<\/p>\n

L’Enqu\u00eate de Sri Ramana Maharshi comme racont\u00e9 dans ‘Le chemin de Sri Ramana’<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Tr\u00e8s bien, la mort est venue! Qu’est-ce que la mort? Qu’est-ce qui se meurt? C’est ce corps qui meurt; laissez-le mourir! \u00bb En d\u00e9cidant ainsi, en fermant les l\u00e8vres herm\u00e9tiquement et en demeurant sans souffle ni parole comme un cadavre, ce que je savais alors que j\u2019examinais \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur \u00e9tait: \u00ab Ce corps est mort. Maintenant, il sera emmen\u00e9 sur le lieu de cr\u00e9mation et br\u00fbl\u00e9; il deviendra des cendres. D’accord, mais avec la destruction de ce corps, suis-je aussi d\u00e9truit? Suis-je vraiment ce corps?<\/p>\n

Bien que ce corps repose comme un cadavre sans voix et sans souffle, je suis sans aucun doute existant, insensible \u00e0 cette mort! Mon existence brille clairement et sans obstruction! Donc, ce corps p\u00e9rissable n\u2019est pas \u00abje\u00bb! Je suis vraiment l\u2019immortel \u2018JE\u2019 (le SOI)! De toutes choses, je suis la seule r\u00e9alit\u00e9! Ce corps est soumis \u00e0 la mort; mais moi qui transcende le corps, je vis \u00e9ternellement! \u00bb M\u00eame la mort qui est arriv\u00e9e sur le corps n\u2019a pas pu me toucher!<\/p>\n

Ainsi, la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de sa vraie nature se r\u00e9vela et avec elle disparut la peur de la mort qui s’\u00e9tait d’abord manifest\u00e9e pour ne plus jamais r\u00e9appara\u00eetre! Tout cela avait \u00e9t\u00e9 v\u00e9cu en une fraction de seconde en tant que connaissance directe et non en tant que simple raisonnement. Depuis lors, la conscience de mon existence transcendant le corps n\u2019a jamais cess\u00e9 de rester la m\u00eame. \u00ab\u00a0(\u00a0\u00bb Le chemin de Sri Ramana \u00ab\u00a0, premi\u00e8re partie, chapitre 8 – Sadhu Om)<\/em><\/p>\n

L’\u00e9veil de Ramana Maharshi comme racont\u00e9 dans ‘Ramana Maharshi: Sa vie’<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Un jour, je m’\u00e9tais assis seul au premier \u00e9tage de la maison de mon oncle. J’\u00e9tais dans en bonne sant\u00e9. Je tombais rarement malade. J’avais le sommeil lourd. \u2026 Donc, ce jour-l\u00e0, assis seul, il n’y avait aucun probl\u00e8me de sant\u00e9. Mais une peur soudaine et sans \u00e9quivoque de la mort me saisit. Je sentais que j’allais mourir.<\/p>\n

Pourquoi j’aurais d\u00fb sentir cela ne peut maintenant pas \u00eatre expliqu\u00e9 par quoi que ce soit ressenti dans mon corps. Je ne pouvais pas non plus me l’expliquer \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0. Je ne me suis toutefois pas pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 de savoir si la peur \u00e9tait bien fond\u00e9e. Je me suis dit \u00abj\u2019allais mourir\u00bb et j\u2019ai imm\u00e9diatement commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 ce que je devais faire. Je ne me souciais pas de consulter des m\u00e9decins, des a\u00een\u00e9s ou m\u00eame des amis. Je sentais que je devais r\u00e9soudre le probl\u00e8me moi-m\u00eame \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Le choc de la peur de la mort m’a rendu \u00e0 la fois introspectif ou \u00abintroverti\u00bb.
\nJe me suis dit mentalement, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire sans prononcer les mots: \u00abMaintenant, la mort est venue. Qu’est-ce que cela veut dire? Qu’est-ce qui se meurt? Ce corps meurt.<\/p>\n

J’ai imm\u00e9diatement dramatis\u00e9 la sc\u00e8ne de la mort. J’ai \u00e9tendu mes membres et les ai tenus rigides comme si la rigor-mortis \u00e9tait arriv\u00e9e. J’ai imit\u00e9 un cadavre pour donner un air de r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 mon enqu\u00eate. Je retins mon souffle et gardai la bouche ferm\u00e9e, pressant les l\u00e8vres pour ne laisser aucun son s’\u00e9chapper. Ne laissez pas le mot \u00abje\u00bb ni aucun autre mot \u00eatre prononc\u00e9!<\/p>\n

\u00abEh bien, me suis-je dit, ce corps est mort. Il sera transport\u00e9 sur le lieu de cr\u00e9mation et y sera br\u00fbl\u00e9 et r\u00e9duit en cendres. Mais avec la mort de ce corps, suis-je \u00abmort\u00bb? Le corps est-il \u00abje\u00bb? Ce corps est silencieux et inerte. Mais je sens toute la force de ma personnalit\u00e9 et m\u00eame le son \u00abJe\u00bb en moi, ind\u00e9pendamment du corps. Donc, je suis un esprit, une chose qui transcende le corps. Le corps mat\u00e9riel meurt, mais l’esprit qui le transcende ne peut \u00eatre touch\u00e9 par la mort. Je suis donc l\u2019esprit sans mort.<\/p>\n

Tout ceci n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un simple processus intellectuel, mais jaillissait devant moi comme une v\u00e9rit\u00e9 vivante, que j\u2019ai per\u00e7u imm\u00e9diatement, presque sans aucun argument. \u2018Je\u2019 \u00e9tait quelque chose de tr\u00e8s r\u00e9el, la seule chose r\u00e9elle dans cet \u00e9tat, et toute l\u2019activit\u00e9 consciente qui \u00e9tait li\u00e9e \u00e0 mon corps \u00e9tait centr\u00e9e sur cela.<\/p>\n

Le \u00abJe\u00bb ou mon \u00abSoi\u00bb retenait l\u2019attention par une puissante fascination, \u00e0 partir de ce moment. La peur de la mort avait disparu une fois pour toutes. L’absorption dans le Soi a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 partir de ce moment l\u00e0. D\u2019autres pens\u00e9es vont et viennent comme les diff\u00e9rentes notes d\u2019un musicien, mais le \u2018je\u2019 continue comme une note de base ou le sruti<\/em> fondamental qui accompagne et se fond avec toutes les autres notes.<\/p>\n

Que le corps soit engag\u00e9 dans la conversation, la lecture ou toute autre chose, j\u2019\u00e9tais toujours centr\u00e9 sur \u00abJe\u00bb. (De \u00abRamana Maharshi: Sa vie\u00bb – Gabriele Ebert)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
