Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 FROM PADAMALAI Page 1 Primal Lord! Lord who is the beautiful radiance that shines as 'I-I' within the Heart of devorees! Lord who is the Self, beyond the reach of the mind's objective knowledge! Lord who possesses justice rooted in grace! Lord who stands, his feet firmly planted in the Self-abidance of his followers! Lord who remains as that which is after all else is discarded! Noble Ramana whos eplay is to hold me in his loving embrace! Through the path of his grace that even the gods cannot know he came as a teacher in a form knowable to the senses and easily accessible to the hearts of men, setting upon the earth those holy feet that shine like bright jewels set in wisdom's dawn. Let us fix our thoughts on Sadguru Ramana, who abides as the Self, that inner awareness 'I-I' that dwells as the grace of the supreme within the 'I' of my own heart, so that I obtain in full measure the blessing of divine silence, free from the deluded self-conceit that leads to prode and attachment.. Selections from Padamalai cont'd Padam bestows grace opon those who recite, praise and adorn him with this Padamalai, uniting them permanently with the Atma-swarupa* that forever remains one with them in their hearts. * The real nature of one's own Self. Note: Padamalai is the Advanced Teaching of Sri Bhagavan as given to Muruganar before his eventual Self Realisation, and recorded by him in Tamil verse, edited and translated by David Godman and Robert Butler in aphoristic form. Padam means the Foot of the Guru and Bhagavan in the Heart.This book is highly recommended. Available from Ashram Book Depot or on Amazon.
