Devotee: May we read the Bible?
Ramana Maharishi: The Bible and the Gita are the same.
Devotee: The Bible teaches that Man is born in sin.
Ramana Maharishi: The Man is sin. There was no man-sense in deep sleep. The body thought brings out the idea of sin. The birth of thought is itself sin.
To another question the Master said: Everyone sees only the Self. The divine forms are only like bubbles in the ocean of Reality, or like pictures moving on a screen.
Devotee: The Bible says that the human soul may be lost.
Ramana Maharishi: The ‘I-thought’ is the ego and that is lost. The real ‘I’ is “I am That I Am.”
