Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 1914-1915, one day when Sri Bhagavan had gone out, Sri Amritanadha Yatindra wrote a verse in Malayam on a slip of paper and placed it on the seat where Sri Bhagavan used to sit. The verse said: "In a cave on a top of Arunachala dwells Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi entitled the Treasure of Grace. Who is He? Hari? Siva Guru? Vararuchi? or some great Yati? My heart is consumed with the desire to know the glory of my Guru." When Sri Bhagavan returned and picked up the paper from His seat, the writer made himself scarce. Then Sri Bhagavan wrote on the other site of the slip His reply in the same metre as follows: "The Supreme Self who Sports as Awareness in the cave of the lotus-heart of all souls beginning with Hari, is Ramana of Arunachala. If you enter the Heart where the Supreme Being shines, open the Eye of Knowledge and seek (with melting love) with utmost earnestness, then the truth of it becomes quite plain to you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in G.V.
