From the Guru-Ramana-Vachana-Mala -WHO translation

FRom the Garland of Guru's Sayings- WHO translation

 

Verse 177: Sri Bhagavan Ramana has stated that the belly curses those that eat

without giving time for it to rest (and recuperate). (23)

 

Footnote(23) The above summarizes the sense of a (humorous) Tamil verse written

by the Sage in which the belly is represented as speaking to the soul or jiva

(individual), upbraiding him for his oppressive conduct: " You do not let me rest

for even half an hour at a time; nor do you forego eating for even half an hour;

never do you, oh oppressive being, realize what I suffer; it is not possible for

me to get on with you! "

Dear Alan ,

 

When the poor mother ,

out of her ignorance,

overfeeds the child,

She has begun to sow

the seeds of greed in it.

 

love
