From Guru Vachaka Kovai – The Light of Supreme Truth (Collection of Sri Ramana Maharishi’s sayings by Sri Muruganar). Translated from the original Tamil by Sadhu Om and Michael James.) Postings – 46 59 The Greatness of the Devotees 333. Beyond speech is the greatness of those who have earned the privilege of becoming a prey to the glance of Grace of the Sadguru, who has ripened as the Fruit – the Supreme Self – on account of the invincible achievement of Self-Knowledge. 334. Hiding His own Form, taking another form as a human being, Lord Shiva enters the group of His enlightened devotees, who have staunch devotion to Him, as if He were one among them, taking immense pleasure in their holy company. Sri Muruganar: Thus Sri Bhagavan indirectly tells us that the Sadguru is none but Shiva Himself. 335. The greatness of Devotees cannot be limited. Devotees are greater than Brahma and Vishnu, who often serve the Devotees as if they were their slaves. It is only the greatness of Devotees that the Vedas proclaim. 60 Brahma Vidya 336. Seers of the rarely seen Truth say, “Brahma-Vidya, which is worthwhile for the aspirant to learn, is to see [the truth of] the seer who sees the world, instead of seeing the world which is seen”. 337. Brahma Vidya is nothing other than seeing That which remains when all these three – the mirage-like world, the seer of that world, and the bright eye’s seeing – are burnt without a trace. Michael James: “All these three”, which are referred to in this verse, are the triad (i.e. triputi), the seen, the seer and the seeing.
