Ramana marchi was asked, did you have to become a monk? A housewife asked him to become enlightened. Both of us can be fully enlightened, fully free, because we are that reality. The carma of your body is that you are a housewife, working in the house, in the kitchen. And he said, that is my karma, the carma of this body. So come cara. Be happy.
Inspired by the 15th chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on the nature of the Self.
