Victory to King Ramana Maharshi !

I awoke with a dream. It was a strange dream but there was a song being sung in it, and it had a beautiful refrain "Raja Ramana Maharshi ki Jai" (Victory/Glory to King Ramana Maharshi).

What a wonderful world it must have been, where You, O Father, are a King. There was a lady whose husband was about to be executed, but she was certain that a series of events were to happen that would prevent the execution. She was detailing the events, perhaps You had told her what would happen and not to worry.
I was somewhere there in the crowd hearing the song, with tears in my eyes as the refrain came, trying to memorize it for later.

I then woke up in a very mental state (mind/body identification), feeling the pain of bereavement of You not being here in body. A pain that follows us life after life till we awaken from this dream. A pain for which there is only one solution - to awaken. Nothing else inside this mind-body illusion can save us.

Yet, putting our love for you aside to Be oneself, putting the mind aside and resting in oneself, is so difficult. I can put aside all other desires, pains, loves, enjoyments in a trice and stay in consciousness, but to put aside You !!!

And yet it must be done, for you are awareness and not something to be found in the mind. So let me put aside this pain, and this mind and come back to You in the "I"/self-awareness.
Victory to You, O King Ramana, and to all your followers, and all those who come onto the direct path :-D I love You so much, always.
