In the course of the day an interesting photo was missing. Sri Bhagavan appeared concerned about it. Mr. Frydman asked how Sri Bhagavan viewed all these matters.
Sri Bhagavan said: “Suppose you dream that you are taking me to Poland. You wake up and ask me. ‘I dreamt so and so. Did you dream so or know it? Or how do you view it’?”
Devotee: But you are not aware of the happenings in front of you?
Ramana Maharishi: These are all workings of the mind and the questions also.
Then again Sri Bhagavan related an episode in Sri Rama’s search for Sita. Parvati asked Siva why Rama, the Perfect Being, was grieving at the loss of Sita. Siva said that Rama was still Perfect. If the Perfection need be tested and made clear, Parvati might appear as Sita before Rama and see what happened. So she did. Rama ignored her appearance and was still crying out, “Ha! Sita! Ha! Sita!” and moved on like a blind man, without taking any notice of Parvati - (Cf. Dialogue 218.)
