57. GURU'S GREATNESS

 

P.62

 

V. 321

 

Though you give up all faults,

acquire all merits,

cast off every kinship

and practice every penance known;

You cannot gain the ultimate bliss

Until you reach the Teacher's Feet.

 

Note : The Teacher's Feet are in the Heart.

 

 

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.
