RE: The Forty Verses

[Guest guest]

Dear John,

 

Thanks for the information on Lakshmana Sarma’s book – lets hope his own

English translation finds its way into print, eventually.

 

You write:

 

>>> 3) Your quoting Talk §567 is indeed cogent and this has been used near

the beginning of this year as part of our run of Sri Bhagavan’s Sri

Arunachala Ashdakam; it is indeed to be kept to the forefront of our

studies, and can be interwoven during the scrutiny of the Forty, with

particular reference to the First Verse.<<<

 

It seems in these two benedictory verses to "The Forty Verses" Sri Ramana

asserts Atma Vichara and Surrender, respectively. Two sides of the same coin

and the essence of the entire Teaching.

 

>>> It is certain that by studying Sri Bhagavan’s original words

themselves, the Vichara process is activated, for Truth awakens of its own

accord.<<<

 

Do you feel this must be the study of Bhagavan's *Tamil* words?

 

Best wishes,

 

Peter
