What is birth?

[Guest guest]

What is Birth? 'I am the body' thought.

What is death? 'I am the doer' notion.

What is true knowledge? The knowledge of one's Self.

What is rare wisdom? That the Lord is the beginning,

middle and end of all, and their cause.

- so say the sages!

(Sivabhaktavilasam, p216; Ramanasramam, 2002)

om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya

Dear Cecile,

It is from 'Sivabhaktavilasam, As Narrated by Sage Upamanyu', translated by

Lingeswara Rao, and published by Sri Ramanasramam in 2002. It is the stories of

the sixty three saints, the Nayanmars, in Sanskrit.

Ever Yours in Sri Bhagavan,

Miles
