The works of Ramaṇa Maharṣi

Akṣaramaṇamālai

Verse 60

நேசமிலெனக்குன் னாசையைக் காட்டிநீமோசஞ் செயாதரு ளருணாசலா

நேசம் இல் எனக்கு உன் ஆசையை காட்டி நீ மோசம் செயாது அருள் அருணாசலா

In plain words

I did not love you. Let us be clear about that. I had no feeling in that direction at all. You put the wanting there. It was not mine. So do not now walk away from it. That would be a swindle.

Word for word

To me who had no love, you showed desire for you — do not now cheat me; grant grace. O Arunachala!
