Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 From Padamalai- Bhagavan's Utterances as recorded by Muruganar, the great Tamil poet who was Self Realised through Bhagavan's Grace. DEVOTION P.227 V.55 The amount of blissful grace that spreads out in your heart will only be in proportion to the amount of true devotion that flows steadily from you to God. *Padam may be defined as the lotus feet of the formless Bhagavan still alive in the Devotee's heart as his own Self that is, His Presence,Love, Grace and Bliss. AJ Note: The book Padamalai translated by Robert Butler and Dr.T.V.Venkatasubra mianian and edited by David Godman is a marvellous book with Ramana's teachings set in aphoristic form with commentaries for the more mature sadhak. It is available from the Ashram Book Depot or Amazon. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
