From the Garland of Guru's Sayings - Prof. Swaminathan's translation

 

24. The Ego's Dance

 

P.34

 

176.

 

To shed the ignorant ego's fond delusions

and to realise

that we do nothing

and all deeds are his;

this death

of the villainous sense of doership

is true strength,

the power that springs from pure penance.

 

The Garland of Guru's sayings or Guru Vachaka Kovai is by Sri Muruganar, who

before and after his Self Realisation through Sri Bhagavan's Grace, recorded

Ramana's utterances and set them into Tamil poetry.

 

This beautiful translation by Prof. Swaminathan is in free verse, and published

by Ramanasramam.
