Advaitic Scriptures

[Guest guest]

For those who are interested in the classic Advaitic writings, scriptures,

and translations, "The collected works of Ramana Maharshi" is highly

recommended. Bhagavan Ramana wrote very little in his life. However at times

Sri Ramana translated Sanskrit works into Tamil, sometimes even selecting

and rearranging verses, perhaps to bring about the Advaitic meaning more

clearly. For students of Advaita Vedanta and devotees of Sri Ramana, these

works are like a pot of fresh and sweet honey always there for enjoyment.

 

Here is verse 46 from Devikalottra (The collected works of Ramana Maharshi):

 

The consciousness which shines as "I" in the Heart Lotus is pure [flawless]

and perfectly steady [without a trace of movement]. By destroying the ego,

which rises [from that consciousness], that consciousness itself bestows the

supreme joy of liberation. Be sure about it.

 

Love to all
