A text is doing rounds in WhatsApp. I have attached it after my response. Vested criminals are misguiding/cheating the public using it! 😠
🌸🌹🍀🍁🌺🌻🌼
This reply was given by Bhagavaan Sri Ramana Maharshi to a Parangi according to his mindset. Bhagavaan didn't intend it for general public.
Likewise, He praised about Islam to a group of Muslims. So, can we all utter the "sacred" word 3 times, divorce our wives and go for 10 years old girl children? 😂
He also recommended doing Jabam to a Brahmin woman. So, can we all do Jabam, lose energy and go bonkers? 😂
If you want to know what He really said, read
💮 நான் யார்? (Who Am I?)
💮 உள்ளது நாற்பது (Reality in Forty Verses - commentary by Sri Saadhu Om)
💮 உபதேச உந்தியார் (Upadesa Undhiyaar - commentary by Sri Saadhu Om).
Don't get fooled by these cheats!!
If Bhagavaan's words mean a lot to them, let them follow His words first. Bhagavaan didn't recommend or approve religious conversions. Will they stop their conversion business?
Several years ago they used Swaami Vivekaanandha's words to sell their -ism. Once Sri Raamakrishna Mission fired a salvo, these cheats went silent. Now, they are using Bhagavaan's words. I don't expect any salvo this time as there is still too much Parangi infestation at Sri Ramanaashramam.
"I am that I am" is one of the phrases to describe The God/Brahmam/பரம்பொருள். It also falls short like all the words & phrases including Bhagavaan's own "நான்" & "தான்". God is beyond thoughts & words. Naming or explaining something that is beyond words will always result in error. Pl remember the following beautiful lines from Thamizh:
கண்டவர் விண்டிலர்
விண்டவர் கண்டிலர்
Those who realized won't talk
Those who talk are not realized
Bhagavaan was a கண்டவர். He used several words, phrases, etc. to guide us to The Almighty/Arunaachalaa/உள்ள பொருள். That's the best a real Guru can do.

From: ~~~ Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, Talk 106.
Q.:
How shall I realise God?
M.:
God is an unknown entity.
Moreover He is external.
Whereas,
the Self is always with you
and it is you.
Why do you leave out what is intimate
and go in for what is external?
Q.:
What is this Self again?
M.:
The Self is known to everyone
but not clearly.
You always exist.
The Be-ing is the Self.
‘I am’ is the name of God.
Of all the definitions of God,
none is indeed so well put
as the Biblical statement
“I AM THAT I AM”
in EXODUS (Chap. 3).
There are other statements,
such as
Brahmaivaham,
Aham Brahmasmi
and Soham.
But none is so direct as the name
JEHOVAH = I AM.
The Absolute Being is what is -
It is the Self.
It is God.
Knowing the Self,
God is known.
In fact God is none other
than the Self.
