From dawn to dusk I spend my day in vain talks, Not even for a moment do I think ‗Who am I?‘ My Lord, you have told me if you speak one word it will multiply into many words. Ramana Deva , I am only pretending to be your devotee and not conducting myself as one. I am a sinner who wastes most of his time listening to others‘ misdeeds and talking about them. I have many defects myself, but if others mention them, my mind boils with rage. Thinking that there is no harm in it, I do not hesitate to utter small lies. Oh! Ramana Deva , is it not high drama to fall at your feet as if I am your devotee? Though I have become old and suffer from various diseases, I have not destroyed the desire for possession. Even though I give advice to the mind, it does not subside but wanders after them. Ramana Deva , when will this delusion end and my mind become firm? You know that my qualities and character are poor. You also know that among the ignorant full of defects, I am the worst. Though you know all this, you still sort me and took possession of me. Ramana Deva, how can I explain this wonder? ~~Sivaprakasam Pillai~~ (S. Pillai was a fortunate devotee of Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi, who dedicated his entire life for contemplation on the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and now and then Pillai used to write verses based on his teachings. The above is one of his poems dedicated to Maharshi. This treasure-trove of Wisdom now guides innumerable seekers all over the world. )
