The works of Ramaṇa Maharṣi

Akṣaramaṇamālai

Verse 27

சகலமும் விழுங்குங் கதிரொளியின மனசலசமலர்த்தி யிடருணாசலா

சகலமும் விழுங்கும் கதிர் ஒளி இனன் மன சலசம் அலர்த்தியிடு அருணாசலா

In plain words

You are the sun that swallows the world. Not lights it up. Swallows it. And here is this closed thing in me. A lotus does not decide to open, and nobody opens it. The sun comes up and it opens. Do that.

Word for word

Sun of blazing rays that swallows everything — make the lotus of my mind blossom. O Arunachala!
