| | We adore that `Ramana' whose totality is Awareness;
who is the embodiment of all Knowledge; who has
neither birth nor death; who is the prop of all existing
life-force; who accepts service rendered by spiritual
aspirants; with whom there is none to compare; to
whom none is superior; who shines in our soul as
Knowledge just as the Sun shines in the sky and on
whom all the worlds depend for their existence; to
Him we offer our obeisance.

| | Those who worship the Graceful Feet of Sri Ramana
Bhagavan, who is the incarnation of Lord Subrahmanya
residing in Arunachalam, will be blessed with the virtues
of mind-control and restraint of outgoing senses. He
will thus be enabled to look upon pleasure and pain
with equanimity; the restless mind getting one-pointed
will bloom into Blissful sphurana (Awareness).
|
| 3. | |
| | He who meditates ever on Om Ramanaya Namaha
is free from the fear of Death. When death approaches
and the Self is veiled, meditation on the sacred
syllable of `Ramana' rescues us from death by putting
an end to Death itself.
|
| 4. | |
| | Verily the Self in the Heart appears as the five
elements, as the sun, moon and stars, as angels and
different deities; as the vast space and as the origin
and source of all this. Let us adore the Self as
`Ramana'.
|
| 5. | |
| | `Ramana', the Pure Self, whose Grace emanates from
its seat -- the Heart, whose Grace plays upon His
serene face, and is directed through His most
beautiful eyes, blessing all who turn to Him.
|
| 6. | |
| | Hearken! I shall tell you about the Golden Abode of
Wisdom where the Omnipotent `Ramana' resides.
Without renouncing the internal and external
attachments, it is impossible even for the keenest
intellect to approach the Heart, where He shines
alone, as Grace and where the Milk of Knowledge
overflows. Come, let us abide there, drink the nectar
of Grace and be Liberated!
