The works of Ramaṇa Maharṣi

Upadeśa Undiyār

Verse 10

உதித்த விடத்தி லொடுங்கி யிருத்தலதுகன்மம் பத்தியு முந்தீபறவதுயோக ஞானமு முந்தீபற

உதித்த இடத்தில் ஒடுங்கி இருத்தல் அது கன்மம் பத்தியும் உந்தீபற அது யோக ஞானமும் உந்தீபற

In plain words

Whatever came up, let it go back where it came from, and stay there. That is the path of works. It is also devotion. It is also yoga. It is also knowledge. Four roads, and people have argued for centuries about which is best. Here they are, all four, in one sentence.

Word for word

Abiding, having subsided in the place where it rose — that is action and devotion. Fly up, undī! That is yoga and knowledge. Fly up, undī!
