The works of Ramaṇa Maharṣi

Akṣaramaṇamālai

Verse 11

ஐம்புலக் கள்வ ரகத்தினிற் புகும்போதகத்தி னீயில்லையோ வருணாசலா

ஐம்புலக் கள்வர் அகத்தினில் புகும்போது அகத்தில் நீ இல்லையோ அருணாசலா

In plain words

The senses came in and took everything. And you live here. You were home. So either you were not watching, or you let them in. I would like to know which.

Word for word

When the five sense-thieves broke into the house, were you not in the house? O Arunachala!
