Upadesha Saram

By Sri Ramana Maharshi

Action yields fruit,
For so the Lord ordains it.
How can action be the Lord?
It is insentient.

The fruit of action passes.
But action leaves behind
Seed of further action
Leading to an endless ocean of action;
Not at all to moksha.

Disinterested action
Surrendered to the Lord
Purifies the mind and points
The way to moksha.

This is certain:
Worship, praise and meditation,
Being work of body, speech and mind,
Are steps for orderly ascent.

Ether, fire, air, water, earth,
Sun, moon, and living beings --
Worship of these,
Regarded all as forms of His,
Is perfect worship of the Lord.

Better than hymns of praise
Is repetition of the Name;
Better low-voiced than loud,
But best of all
Is meditation in the mind.

Better than spells of meditation
Is one continuous current,
Steady as a stream,
Or downward flow of oil.

Better than viewing Him as Other,
Indeed the noblest attitude of all,
Is to hold Him as the `I' within,
The very `I'.

Abidance in pure being
Transcending thought through love intense
Is the very essence
Of supreme devotion.

Absorption in the Heart of being,
Whence we sprang,
Is the path of action, of devotion,
Of union and of knowledge.

Holding the breath controls the mind,
Like a bird caught in a net.
Breath-regulation helps
Absorption in the Heart.

Mind and breath (as thought and action)
Fork out like two branches.
But both spring
From a single root.

Absorption is of two sorts:
Submergence and destruction.
Mind submerged rises again;
Dead, it revives no more.

Breath controlled and thought restrained,
The mind turned one-way inward
Fades and dies.

Mind extinct, the mighty seer
Returns to his own natural being
And has no action to perform.

It is true wisdom
For the mind to turn away
From outer objects and behold
Its own effulgent form.

When unceasingly the mind
Scans its own form,
There is nothing of the kind.
For everyone
This path direct is open.

Thoughts alone make up the mind;
And of all thoughts the `I' thought is the root.
What is called mind is but the notion `I'.

When one turns within and searches
Whence this `I' thought arises,
The shamed `I' vanishes
And wisdom's quest begins.

Where this `I' notion fades,
Now there as I, as I, arises
The One, the very Self, The Infinite.

Of the term, `I' the permanent import
Is `That'. For even in deep sleep
Where we have no sense of `I'
We do not cease to be.

Body, senses, mind, breath, sleep --
All insentient and unreal --
Cannot be `I',
`I' who am the Real.

For knowing That which Is
There is no other knower.
Hence Being is Awareness
And we are all Awareness.

In the nature of their being, creature and creator
Are in substance one.
They differ only
In adjuncts and awareness.

Seeing oneself free of all attributes
Is to see the Lord,
For He shines ever as the pure Self.

To know the Self is but to be the Self,
For It is non-dual.
In such knowledge
One abides as That.

That is true knowledge which transcends
Both knowledge and ignorance,
For in pure knowledge
There is no object to be known.

Having known one's nature one abides
As being with no beginning and no end
In unbroken consciousness and bliss.

Abiding in this state of bliss
Beyond bondage and release,
Is steadfastness
In service of the Lord.

All ego gone,
Living as That alone
Is penance good for growth,
Sings Ramana, the Self.

---translated by Prof. K. Swaminathan

I Set Up a House for You

I set up a house for You in my heart
As a Friend that I could talk with.

Gave my body to someone else
Who wanted to embrace it.

This body, all in all, is good enough for embracing -

But the Friend who lives in my house
Is the lover of my Heart.

Gayatri Mantra Ghana Patha

Ghana Paatha (literally "dense recitation") is the very complicated, but very delightful, sentence structure where the Vedic mantra should be chanted in combinations when each ghana turn itself contains. So, if the original order of words in a sentence is: 1/2/3/4/5  - the ghana recital goes as follows:

12/21/123/321/123/

23/32/234/432/234/

34/43/345/543/345/

45/54/45/ and so on...

Om Sri Ganeshaya Namaha

Love is Fire

Who do you think I am?
A drunkard?
A love-sick fool, a slave of my senses, made senseless by desire?
Understand:
I have risen above all that,
I am the King of Love in majesty.
My soul is purified from the darkness of lust, my longing purged of low desire, my mind free from shame.
I have broken the teeming bazaar of the senses in my body.
Love is the essence of my being.
Love is fire and I am wood burnt by the flame.
Love has moved in and adorned the house, my self tied up its bundle and left.
You imagine that you see me, but I no longer exist:
What remains is the beloved...

From "Laylâ and Majnûn" by Nizami Ganjavi (1141-1209)

Your Hand

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it.

Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield
but to my own strength.

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved
but hope for the patience to win my freedom.

Grant that I may not be a coward,
feeling Your mercy in my success alone;

But let me find the grasp of Your hand in my failure.

 ---by Rabindranath Tagore

Enter the Door - 8

Sometimes, the door used as a symbol, is the usual physical door also. In any way, it does not take away the symbolical sense. On the contrary - this sense can extend. All depends on your understanding in this concrete time. The such happens with one of the four Saiva Samaya Acharyas of the 7th century - Thirunavukarasar (Appar). One interesting legend is connected with him.

Once upon a time, the Vedas themselves used to worship the Lord Shiva in the Vedaranyeswarar Temple. When people neglected the study of the Vedas, this was discontinued. From that time, the door by which the Vedas used to enter, remained closed. There was another door by which people would go in and worship. Appar and other saint, Thirugnanasambandhar (Sambanthar), heard of this when they came there. He requested Appar to sing a song. The doors opened by themselves, by the Will of God. They went in and worshipped the Lord. When they returned to that entrance, Sambanthar sang and the door closed again.

So, you can understand this opening and closing the temple doors symbolically or actually, but the main thing that  this miracle can happen to you.

O spouse of Uma, Her witli speech equalling music!

O Lord of Maraikkatu, worsipped by the world!

Favor me with your unfailing grace!

Open the door, Let me see You with my eyes!

O God who wears the white ash, infinite Lord,

God of lovely Maraikkatu!

Kindly open this great door,

so that your devotees may worship You!

O my Lord who quelled the demon with one toe,

Have you no pity?

Lord of Maraikkatu with fragrant puppai groves!

Oh, quickly open this door!

Be Merciful

Psalm 51 by David.

1 Be merciful to me, O God,
 because of your constant love.
Because of your great mercy
 wipe away my sins!
2 Wash away all my evil and
 make me clean from my sin!
3 I recognize my faults;
 I am always conscious of my sins.
4 I have sinned against you—only against you—
 and done what you consider evil.
So you are right in judging me;
 you are justified in condemning me.
5 I have been evil from the day I was born;
 from the time I was conceived,
 I have been sinful.
6 Sincerity and truth are what you require;
 fill my mind with your wisdom.
7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean;
 wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness;
 and though you have crushed me and broken me,
 I will be happy once again.
9 Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.
10 Create a pure heart in me,
 O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence;
 do not take your holy spirit away from me.
12 Give me again the joy
that comes from your salvation,
 and make me willing to obey you.
13 Then I will teach sinners your commands,
 and they will turn back to you.
14 Spare my life, O God, and save me,
 and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
15 Help me to speak, Lord,
 and I will praise you.
16 You do not want sacrifices,
 or I would offer them;
 you are not pleased with burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God;
 you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.

Star

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Has had elsewhere its setting,
And comes from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.

---by William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)

Journey to the Lord of Power

From the "Journey to the Lord of Power" by Muhyiddin Ibn `Arabi

Know, O noble brother, that while the paths are many, the Way of Truth is single. The seekers of the Way of Truth are individuals. So although the Way of Truth is one, the aspects it presents vary with the varying conditions of its seekers; with the balance or imbalance of the seeker's constitution, the persistence or absence of his motivation, the strength or weakness of his spiritual nature, the straightness or deviation of his aspiration, the health or illness of his relation to his goal.

Some seekers possess all of the favorable characteristics, while others possess only some. Thus we see that the seeker's constitution, for instance, may be a hindrance, while his spiritual striving may be noble and good. And this principle applies in all cases.

In our situation we only need an explanation of the Realm of this world, which is the place of responsibilty, trial, and works.

Know that since God created human beings and brought them out of nothingness into existence, they have not stopped being travelers. They have no resting place from their journey except in the Garden or the Fire, and each Garden and Fire is in accordance with the measure of its people. Every rational person must know that the journey is based upon toil and the hardships of life, on afflictions and tests and the acceptance of dangers and very great terrors. It is not possible for the traveler to find in this journey unimpaired comfort, security, or bliss. Of this there is no doubt.

Your first duty is to search for the knowledge which establishes your ablution and prayer, your fasting and reverence. You are not obliged to seek out more than this. This is the first door of the journey; then work; then moral heedfulness; then asceticism; then trust. And in the first of the states of trust, four miracles befall you. These are signs and evidences of your attainment of the first degree of trust. ... And that is the reality within this door. After that, stations and states and miracles and revelations come to you continuously until death.
