Verse 13 of' Inquiry into the I' by Oleg Mogilever

[Guest guest]

13

 

Holding firmly to the Self-Enquiry,"Who Am I?'

And stalking unwaveringly the little "I",

The adept shall reach the subtle Flame

In the Lotus of the Heart,in the cave fore-ordained.

 

On this death-bed of self,immolated,

He shall rise again made new like the Phoenix,

Alike in both loss and in gain,

Once the Ego disappears in the Flame.

 

Sri Ramana! O Master! I beseech thy Grace,Thy celestial Prasad:

To make this enquiry unceasingly,

And never to lose my way in the fog.

 

Thy disciple cherishes only this dream,

Arising in thy Light so miraculous;

To enter, behold, and to master the way!
