The Feet of the Glorious Ramana


The Feet of the Glorious Ramana
our life, our path and our destination
all we know
all we love
all that loves us.

His Feet that have rescued us
that cleanse us
of all pain, of all longing,
their shadow is bliss itself

we are the dust of that Feet
the blessed dust
after lives, many, we have reached there
no one can harm us in this shadow
it is just love and joy at these Feet

even the Gods crave these Feet
the entire creation craves these Feet
only some reach there
whom He chooses himself

He has chosen us
he has handpicked us
His children from previous births
the ones who loved and served Him previously
who served his devotees

====>who worshipped Him

He has reeled us in finally
to His Feet
====>never let us stray an inch!
the biggest secret of all secrets

====>the truest, sweetest

oh we cannot stray from here
he has now bound us here

it is his immense love due to which He has brought us here
He could not live without us
he pined for us
====>how we longed for this
he waited and waited for us to open our eyes

====> while we dreamed and dreamed

and one day when we opened our eyes one tiny crack
he seized the opportunity
and showed us His Face
and then started pulling us
we thought we loved Him
but akchly it was His Love all the time
For we are truly Him
thus it is ONE love not two
so pure is the air around His Feet
it attracts purity
and love
supremely peaceful is it here
and so warm
like a womb
safe and warm
is this His Heart or what ?
only the dearest of the dear reach here
those who love Him beyond all imagination, all limits
====>wildly with nothing held back
He is pulling YOU in NOW
let go
let Him pull in
let go completely
His Feet are the Heaven people speak of
Vaikuntha
the final abode
param gati
the final ultimate destination
His Feet are the Nirvana that (the) Buddha spoke of
sink in
dissolve in, fortunate soul
there is nothing higher
nothing more perfect
nothing God could create after this
this was God's final and most perfect creation
press your face into those Feet
close your eyes and press your eyelids in
press your forehead
press your cheeks in
kiss those feet
nothing surpasses these Feet
the Holiest of the Holy
love them more than you have loved anything else
His Feet are bliss itself
They are the key, the secret key to becoming one with Him
His Feet are His Heart
The Heart of your most beloved Ramana
The Heart of the little boy who left his home when barely a man
The Heart of the man who lived on the mountain, in caves, in silence for long
resting in Arunachala
The Heart of our Father
of whom we are
These Feet are our Father and Mother
each cell of this body is made of these Feet
breathe them in
let the wind that has caressed these Feet enter your body
drink it deep
it is the finest nectar
that few know of
even the devas have never drunk of this, they can only imagine,
what to speak of the others ?

Even Brahma and Shiva and Vishnu long for these Feet
long for their touch, their fragrance
even their shadow

Worshipping these Feet is the highest form of worship
the purest worship
all forms of worship can finally only bring you to this place
abandon all other forms, abandon all else
and worship these Feet

These Feet hold the Divine Mother's Love in them
All love in this world emanates from these Feet into the hearts of creatures
These Feet are Love itself

Such are the Feet of my young Venkat
the Feet of the one who became Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
whom the world loved, and loves to this day
whom millions revere and worship
the One who calls us, who beckons us, who claims us today

He is pervading each cell of our bodies and soul
slowly let go so He may claim all
dont resist
let Him claim all
This is all His anyway
it always was His and always will be
so are we
there never was an 'I' or 'us' ever
it was all Him
from the start
the dream is that we are 'I' and 'Us'.
In truth, just Him
Let this be your prayer, your state of mind, always
day and night
====>melted, into the wonder of His Love, into the wonder that He lives today, and his son lives today to press me into His Holy Feet

====>you are his servant, and you are Him



O seeker(s)
deviate not from this state, from this truth, which His feet have revealed to us
====>no desire, fulfilled, ever gives way to this Bliss

By His Holy Feet we swear that there is nothing holier and purer and higher than the Feet of Arunachala Siva Ramana

====>never was, never will be

We have but had a whiff of these graceful Feet and we speak thus
from the depths of our hearts
we have revealed our most dearly held secret to you
for your benefit
we share this with you in all humilty and love
we are but the dust of His Feet and aspire for nothing more,
nothing less and nothing more
Here there is ample joy and love for the whole world, many times over
Just open your heart to Him, a tiny bit, and let My Glorious Master enter
My Master longs for you all
He longs to love You and give you the greatest joys
allow Him

This all we swear to be the truth. By His Holy Feet.
