Being poor they had to save enough money for a few years to become deck passengers (on a ship). To the couple, the Maharshi\u2019s presence on earth seemed the second coming of the Christ himself and they longed to see him.<\/p>\n<p>One evening when they sat before Ramana Maharshi, the talk turned to Peru. The couple was describing the seacoast and beach of their town.<\/p>\n<p>Just then Maharshi remarked, \u201cIs not the beach paved with marble slabs, with coconut palms planted in between? Are there not marble benches in rows facing the sea, and did you not often sit on the fifth of those with your wife?\u201d This remark came as a great astonishment to the couple and they were at a loss to understand as to how the Maharshi could know such minute details.<\/p>\n<p>Ramana Maharshi smiled and remarked, \u201cIt does not matter how I can tell. Enough if you know that the Self is not limited by space and time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>As noted in the book:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sriramanamaharshi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Face_to_Face_with_Sri_Ramana_Maharshi.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Face to Face with Sri Ramana Maharshi<\/a>\u00a0(Incident #115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>This article is from the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/spiritualbee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/spiritualbee.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1562430161436000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHv-xtWtBK2aYQITMfpElSAHgO3xQ\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">spiritualbee.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">.<\/span> It has been republished here with permission.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Image Credit : Pixabay.com<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"graf-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/0*3pZGvf3qbmx-Wry_.gif\" data-image-id=\"0*3pZGvf3qbmx-Wry_.gif\" data-width=\"1\" data-height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is time?
