Commentary >From the age of innocence Ramana was intuitively aware of the glory of Arunachala Siva., but he did not know that it was in the form of a hill in Tiruvannamalai. This knowledge came to him through a relative a few months before he left home. Then came his death-experience and the consciousness that he was the `deathless spirit' which made continued stay at home meaningless. While leaving he left a letter in Tamil, the English version of which reads as follows: "I have set out in quest of my Father, in accordance with his command. It is on a virtuous enterprise that this has embarked. Therefore, none need grieve over this act and let no money be spent in search of this"*. The letter was not signed. Here `command' refers to the choiceless inner compulsion.
