oh boundless ocean of grace...

[Guest guest]

Until there is the I-thought, there will be no

other thought. Until other thoughts arise,

(asking) 'To whom?' (will call forth the reply)

'To me'. He who persues this closely, questioning

'What is the origin of the I?' and diving inwards

reaches the seat of the mind (within) the Heart

becomes (there) the sovereign Lord of the Universe.

 

Oh boundless ocean of grace and effulgence called

Arunachala, dancing motionless within the court

of the Heart! there is no (longer any) dream there

of such dualities as in and out, right and wrong,

birth and death, pleasure and pain, or light and

darkness.
