Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 INVOCATION V.1. As is traditional before commencing the main work Ramana preceeded the Forty with two invocatory verses .This is the first . -0O0- 1 Unless Reality exists can thought of it arise ? Since void of thought, Reality exists within as Heart, How to know the Reality we term the Heart ? To know 'That' is merely to be 'That 'in the Heart. [alt.for sentence 1-Can there be knowledge of reality other than existing as reality ?] Prof K.Swaminathan .This is Translation used by the Ashram in the current edition of the Collected Works . Without awareness of Reality ,can Reality exist ? Because this Awareness-Reality , itself free from thought,exists as the Source of all thoughts,it is called Heart.How to know it ?To be as it is [thought free] in the Heart,is to know it . S.S.Cohen .An Iraqui Jew and Civil Engineer who was An Ashram resident during Ramana's lifetime. I am not posting other translations which are more or less repetitions .If however anyone has interesting translations they wish to post please add them .
