RAMANA MAHARSHI / ULLADU NARPADU /  SLOKA 19

TRANSLATIONS:

TRUTH  REVEALED / Grant Duff Only to those, who have no knowledge of the basis of destiny and free will, are there the disputations as to which of them prevails. They that know the Self as one basis of destiny and freewill are rid of them both. Would they again be entangled in them?

HE FORTY ON EXISTENCE / Sadhu Arunachala (Major A.W.Chadwick) The argument on which of these two wins, Free-will or destiny, is for those folk Who their root-cause ignore. Those who know Self -- The basis of these two -- transcend them both. Think, can such persons be caught up by these Or be involved in any such disputes?

REVELATION / K. Lakshmana Sarma (“Who”) Only those love to dispute which of the two, fate and the will, will prevail, who have no experience of (the truth of) him, named ‘I’,  who is the one root of both. Can that Sage that has become free of  both, knowing the truth of the ego by the Quest, ever again become entangled in these, like one that knows not the Self?

SYNOPSIS / Grant Duff The Sage who has realised the Self transcends both free-will and destiny, with which only the ignorant are concerned.
