"In the matter of His soothing gift of Grace, He resembles the moon, friend

of the blue water-lily.

In like manner, in the matter of His splendour, He resembles the sun,

kinsman to the lotus.

In His firm abidance in Brahman, He reminds us of His Father

(Dak.si.nAmUrti), living under the Banyan tree.

We devotedly remember Him, the unmoving one (SrI aru.nAcalarama.na)."

 

 

Sri Bhagavan approved this verse (18; 13) as dhyana sloka of the whole

Ramana Gita. Sri Vasishtha Ganapati Muni's wonderful verse, came from direct

realisation of the Divine Nature of Sri Bhagavan. As such, it is a fitting

vehicle of Grace which undoubtedly invokes the presence of Sri Bhagavan.

 

 

Ever Yours in Sri Bhagavan,
