Dear S. Subramanian,
Absolutely correct. The whole purpose is to remove the unwanted
falsity and the Truth shall reveal itself. This process is called
Chidda Suddhi. Again, as you said, the latent tendencies may
rise at anytime and ruin us. I am given to anger very easily in
life. But in normal times, there is no sense of anger in me. But
it rises its hood in no time and harm others and harm me too.
A slight provaction is all that is wanted to push your hypertension
by twenty points! Bhagavan Ramana says: It is like the serpent
inside the ant hill. It does not come out. But you have to catch
it when it just comes out, before harming the children playing
around the ant hill. That is the exact moment, when one should
ask: For whom this anger is?
Once a devotee was asking Bhagavan Ramana, as to how to control
the anger. Bhagavan Ramana explained this. But they could not
understand. Soon both went into the kitchen to prepare some
evening dinner. There was a small fight. One said: Do you
know who I am? Another retorted: Do you know who I am?
Bhagavan Ramana entered the kitchen just then! Both became
very ashamed. Bhagavan said: See, see, this is the moment in
which you should catch this anger and crush its neck. In the
Old Hall, when you were asking this question, there was no anger
in you. So you did not understand. Now you realize.
Arunachala Siva.
