Tribute to Sri Ramana Maharshi | Rainbow Dreams | Sri Chinmoy | Spiritual music | Arunachala

English translation of the Bengali song:

A Compassion Eye, a time immemorial Dream –
O great Sage Ramana!
The destruction-illumination of the little “I”
And
The perfection-manifestation of the big “I”
In you we have found.
You are the Supreme Utterance
Of the Land of Immortality.
In one Form you are the Darling, King and Light
Of Arunachala.
You embody the Supreme Satisfaction
Of earth and Heaven.

Sri Chinmoy about Sri Ramana Maharshi and self-discovery

“The difference between science and spirituality is this: science is running after discovery, whereas spirituality is running after self-discovery. “Who am I, who am I, who am I?” This question of South India’s Sri Ramana Maharshi can never, never be answered mentally. From the spiritual point of view, this question itself is the answer. Spirituality is only digging and digging inside to discover “Who am I?”
…
In spirituality, when self-discovery is achieved, the achievement itself is the manifestation of its own reality, its own existence. When we say ‘self-discovery’, it is the same thing as God-discovery. There is no difference between God-discovery and self-discovery. When I discover myself, at that time I do not feel it is something else that I am discovering; it is my own reality. I have become more aware of my own eternal, infinite, immortal reality.
…
Each time a spiritual seeker discovers something, he is discovering a portion of his birthless and deathless reality.
…
A spiritual person is only realizing his own highest and deepest. A spiritual person looks inside a drawer and says, “O my God! I did not know that I had kept five dollars inside this drawer.” Then he opens up the other drawers and finds ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred dollars. Each time he makes a new discovery, he is not separating himself from what he is getting. He is only becoming identified with it, one with it, like a flower with its fragrance. Where is the difference between the two?”
