The Lord's Strength!

Bhagavan Ramana urges one to cast one's burden on the Lord, who is the source of infinite strength. A short poem...

Let me cast my burden on thee,

The bearer with infinite strength as one gets to see,

One in truth can't anything do,

With the phantom ego that seems true,

The desire to do is the work of the ego,

Which one needs to let go,

For actions are backed not by the strength of desire,

But the strength is from you, O Hill of fire.

About Miracles - A Different Outlook!

Om Namo Bhagavate Shri Ramanaya! The womb of miracles is Grace, which is none other than the Self. Miracles here, may be defined as not the glaring ones as in Physic powers, Clairvoyance or materialising objects etc that bears the stamp of doership. They are simply divine interference in day to day life that are too very natural, and could often escape from even an alert eye. Such were those which took place in the presence of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. Any ardent seeker's life is peppered with miracles or divine interference. There are two common outlooks towards miracles.

In my humble opinion, I guess focusing on Grace, the underlying factor of miracles than focusing on miraculous happenings themselves, or being aware of miracles rather than b...

As I Falter as I Fly.....

Attachment binds, Love sets you free, Attachment masquerades in the mask of love, The Master's love is unalloyed, For He teaches you to be free, He touches not the mind, He sits in the heart (as the very heart) I may not have realised complete freedom, Like the early efforts of a little bird that makes its flight in the sky, I may falter as I fly  before I realise that flying is my natural ability, But His glance has bestowed me with the glimpse  of being uncaged in infinity.

My Trip Alone To Ramanashram-Part II

Om Namo Bhagavate Shri Ramanaya When the mind is worn out and weary, When it needs to be revived, To drink of your glory, The elixir of life Arunachala, the Mount of Grace,        May the mind rest in your eternal embrace. The turbulent mind This time I rushed to the Master’s presence with a turbulent mind. On 7 th October, peace seemed to be something very distant. I went round Bhagavan’s Samadhi over and over again for thoughts to slow down, which of course did. However the storm did not subside. Meditation was rather difficult as there was a counter thought, a worry, ‘the hankering for peace’. On 8 th morning the mind was totally worn out. It suddenly became averse to be engaged in any activity, be it to go round the master or to meditate in the meditation hall. It just dropped its movements. All of a sudden peace descended as I simply sat in the hall in front of the Mother’s shrine, where a black statue of Bhagavan...
