Very interesting to me...
the "I"...2 different takes by 2 teacher/masters.
Ramana Maharshi says the real purpose of spiritual practice is the dissolution of the
"I".
(He is very firm about this.)
Ramakrishna says as long as the
I-sense lasts...true Knowledge and Liberation are impossible.
However, since so few can obtain Union and free themselves from this
"I"...
this
"I" will always return to you ...like the new shoots return
when you cut down a poplar tree...so,
"let it remain
'I' the servant".
And there you have both...
