Bhagavan Ramana's composition on Dipavali.
In Letters from Sri Ramananasramam, Smt.Suri Nagamma writes a letter titled Narakasura - Dipavali to her brother dated 20th August, 1946. It has a verse that Bhagavan wrote on Dipavali at the behest of Sri Muruganar. Bhagavan reads out the meaning to Smt.Suri Nagamma -
"He is Narakasura (a demon)
who feels attached in the thought that he is the body. That
attachment to the body itself is a Naraka (hell). The life of a
person who has that attachment, even if he be a Maharajah,
is hellish. Destroying the attachment to the body, and the
self shining by itself as Self is Dipavali. That is the idea
contained in those verses."
Beautiful indeed.
Om Sri Ramanarpanamastu.
