RAMANA MAHARSHI / ULLADU NARPADU . SLOKA 28

ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS

1.    TRUTH  REVEALED / GRANT DUFF Just as a man would dive in order to get something that has fallen into water, even so, one should, with a keen, one-pointed mind, dive into oneself, controlling speech and breath, and find the place whence the “I” originates.

2.    THE FORTY ON EXISTENCE / SADHU ARUNACHALA (MAJOR A.W.CHADWICK) Just as a diver in the water sinks To seek a treasure hidden in its depths, So must you dive into the Heart itself. With breath and senses equally controlled Find out wherefrom the ego has its birth, With vigilant and introverted mind.

3.    REVELATION / K. LAKSHMANA SARMA As one dives into a lake seeking something fallen into it, so should one dive into the Heart with the one-pointed mind, restraining speech and the breath, giving up all thought about the world and  seeking ‘Whence does arise the ego-sense’, and thus should become aware of the Real Self, the Transcendental Being.

SYNOPSIS  /  Grant Duff With breath and speech controlled and with one-pointed mind, one should dive deep within and reach the Source whence rises the ‘I’.
