Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 16. Ramana Sadguru, the clever one! I do not follow the supreme path that you, my rare Guru, have taught. I do not give up my thinking of the world. You have made me mentally aware of the truth that I am not this perishable body, but you have not granted me actual experience of this truth. A kind master should control and correct his slave and not abandon him in disgust as an incorrigible brute. 17. If you continue in this way, leaving poor me to go my own way, how am I to be saved? Weakling that I am, I will not correct myself and you, my Lord and Master, will not correct me. Ramana Sadguru, have I any help except you either in this life or the next? What exactly is your pleasure, and what do you intend to do with me? My Guru, is it right for you [to behave like this]? 18. Ramana Sadguru, Lord, will you give me up? Are you not an ocean of compassion? [sometimes I think that] out of disgust you will cease to care for me and give me up, saying, 'He did not worship me. He did not serve the Lord.' To worry like this is foolishness. Lord, if you give me up, who is there to save me and bestow grace on me? 19. You gave me a boon that my mind will gradually subside. This can be taken to mean that this [gradual subsidence] will extend into my next birth. Infinite Ramana Sadguru! As my doubt and fear does not befit me, please grant me the state of peace, wherein the mind is destroyed, before the body dies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ some versed from Sivaprakasam Pillai: Sri Ramana Sadguru Malai ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
