Shun the mental Maya

wallowing for ever in worldly pleasures;

And into Sivam's Being transformed,

Shine as Pure Awareness.

  From the Garland of Guru's Sayings - Prof.

Swaminathan' s translation.

 

55. UCHISTAM

 

(The left over on the Guru's plate which is regarded as sacred)

 

P.58

 

V. 302

 

Offering the ego [mind] as a meal

To the silent Guru,

the Primal Self,

The heart drinks in his prasad [Grace]

The light eternal,

the experience of the pure " I AM " .

This is the ultimate eating

of the left over.

 

Note from Prof. Swaminathan

 

Giving up the notion " I am this or that " , one should accept as prasad from the

Guru the experience of Pure being.

 

From Prof.Swaminathan' s translation of Muraganar's

Garland

of Guru's Sayings published by Ramanasramam.

 

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 Sri Ramana's utterances and set them into

Tamil verse. This poetic translation by Prof. Swaminathan is in free verse form,

and published by Ramanasramam.
