nothing is mine

[Guest guest]

Hi & Namaste ,

 

I found a verse in an old "Mountain Path" (January 1975),

which I liked so much from the first reading .

 

" I am alone and nothing is mine ,

nor do I pertain to anything else;

I can find none whose I am or who is mine."

 

- Devikalottara (49)

 

Can somebody give more information about who

Devikalottara was and what else he wrote?

 

Thanks,

Vicki.

Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya

 

Namaste Sri Vicki,

 

Refer "The collected works of Ramana Maharshi" by

Arthur Osborne. The first very first paragraph on the

chapter on Devikalottara (Bhagavan Ramana's words

translated in English) reads as follows: "Sri

Devikalottara is ....what the Supreme Siva vouchsafed

to His beloved (Devi - Divine Mother)- A discourse on

the wisdom into which ripe souls in their maturity are

initiated and their mode of life."

 

It is in the form of Siva's answer to Devi's question:

"Oh Lord of the Celestials! Be so gracious as to as to

instruct me in the means of Liberation, in Jnana and

in the conduct of Jnanis, hearing which Liberation to

all."

 

Siva's reply was in the form of 85 verses.

 

It would be delightful to hear from Sri Miles the

meaning of the Sanskrit word "Devikalottara".

Devikalottaram:

 

This can be translated in a variety of ways but I feel Sri Ramana suggests

the way:

 

"The supreme reply (by Lord Siva), at the appropriate time (i.e. when a soul

is mature/ripe) to Parvati (Durga, Siva's Beloved)."
