NON-DUAL CONSCIOUSNESS. THE FLOOD TIDE OF BLISS GRI RAMANA ANUBUTI

The holy feet stand watch within the hearts of disciples whose suffering is at an end, infusing them with the pure joy of their daily companionship. As if drunk on reality itself, they came to me in my time of need, saving me from the sorrow of my own delusion, the holy feet of our Lord.

Muruganar-Sri Ramana Anubuti-Verse

The scriptures are replete with praise of a guru whose grace alone can reveal the truth to a disciple who has surrendered himself to his holy feet. However much one might strive with eager yearning in the spiritual path, one can reach only the threshold of the Self-knowledge. Though our egoistic minds might presume that by its own efforts it can withstand 'whirling onslaught of thoughts' it would founder. For the mind has been 'muddied' by its habitual externalisation. Without the guru's grace the host of accumulated tendencies will derail one on the path.

Even though the grace of guru flows in his holy silence or through his penetrating eyes, it is his feet which is referred to in all sacred poetry, as refuge of the disciples. In this work Sri Ramana Anubuti, the disciple Murugunar pours out in ecstatic poetry the feelings of a grateful heart which remembers the glory of guru Ramana's feet which enabled his being established in the immense silence of the blissful natural state.
