Dive into the heart with great tenacity,
With great love, patience and alacrity;
Such practice must surely end in Jnana,
So said great Guru Sage, Lord Ramana.
He gave the Eki Sloka* to the Muni
The Kavankanti who was like Ganapati,
Brother to God Skanda, the son of Shiva,
Who was reborn on earth as Sage Ramana
To bring us the blessing of atma vichara.
Such is the power of this great sadhana
That egotism is removed and the Sun of Jnana
Shines forth to enlighten the sad ignorant jiva,
That’s the great gift from Sri Bhagavan Ramana,
Who came on Eath to guide mankind to Jnana!
• THE EKI SLOKA
• “IN THE INMOST CORE, THE HEART
• SHINES AS BRAHMAN ALONE,
• AS I-I, THE SELF AWARE.
• ENTER DEEP INTO THE HEART
• BY SEARCH FOR SELF, OR DIVING DEEP,
• WITH BREATH UNDER CHECK.
• THUS ABIDE EVER IN ATMAN.”
This verse hangs above Bhagavan’s couch in the New Hall engraved in gold on black basalt..
