RAMANA MAHARSHI / ULLADU NARPADU / SLOKA 27

ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS

1.    TRUTH  REVEALED / GRANT DUFF The State of non-emergence of “I” is the state of our being THAT. Without questing for that State of the non-emegence of “I” and attaining It, how can one accomplish one`s own extinction, whereafter “I” revives not? Without that attainment how is it possible to abide in one`s own State where one is THAT  ?

2.    THE FORTY ON EXISTENCE / SADHU ARUNACHALA (MAJOR A.W.CHADWICK) That state where ‘I’ no longer doth appear Is being That in truth. How reach that state Without a constant search “Where springs this I?” Until within the true ‘I’ me is drowned ? Without the merging of the ‘I-thought’ how To realize the Self and that Self be?

3.    REVELATION / K. LAKSHMANA SARMA

We are that one Reality only in that State in which there is no rising of the ego-sense. But how can the ego-sense be finally extinguished,  if the mind does not enter the Source of the ego-sense? And if the ego-sense be not so extinguished, how can that State be won which is our own by nature and in which we are That?

SYNOPSIS  /  Grant Duff The Self-conscious Being of ‘I’-lessness is the That which is one’s true State realised by destroying the ego through Self-enquiry. Collected from the books published by Ramanasramam.
