Healing Caves
Arunachala is within, and not without. The Self is Arunachala. The mystery of the caves is the mystery of the Self. It is God, the universal teacher who teaches the eternal truth in silence. To sit in the proximity of Arunachala or even to think of the mountain will quieten the mind. To enter into its silence is to melt into its unfathomable bliss. You will forget your name, form, sex, your profession, your family, and all that you were until then. It is actually an indescribable experience, quite impossible to put into words. No one can understand it apart from the one who is fortunate enough to have been there. Those who know of it cannot talk about it. Those who talk of it do not know it.
