Zoom: "Live Resplendent With Truth And Bliss" Readings, Self-Enquiry, Meditation

A 10-minute Silence for Self-enquiry or meditation will precede short readings from Sri Muruganar's "The Garland of Guru's Sayings" -- poetic verses that poignantly capture the teachings of Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi.

Live Resplendent With Truth And Bliss

451
The deeper into the Heart one dives
The greater grows the bliss enjoyed,
The bliss intense of the sole Self
Which once appeared in various forms.

452
Once you are well established in the Heart
True Awareness rises bright. And then
You live like a Sun un-setting
Resplendent with the light of Truth
Enjoying the blissful peace of Shiva
Eternal.

453
When the mind’s desire gets fulfilled
It gains the bliss of Self, its source.
Even so, in every earthly state
When something hated is removed
Or some desire is fulfilled
The bliss enjoyed is the bliss of Self
As in samadhi, swooning or sweet sleep.

454
In the false, frenzied ego-life
Created by the mind constricted
To some thought, who can enjoy
The clear, bright bliss of Pure Awareness
Free from thought?
