from Sri Ramana Teachings · host Sri Ramana Center of Houston
In a Zoom meeting with Sri Ramana Center, Houston, on 4th February 2023 Michael James discusses verse 11 of Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu: ----more---- அறிவுறுந் தன்னை யறியா தயலை யறிவ தறியாமை யன்றி — யறிவோ வறிவயற் காதாரத் தன்னை யறிய வறிவறி யாமை யறும். aṟivuṟun taṉṉai yaṟiyā dayalai yaṟiva daṟiyāmai yaṉḏṟi — yaṟivō vaṟivayaṟ kādhārat taṉṉai yaṟiya vaṟivaṟi yāmai yaṟum. பதச்சேதம்: அறிவு உறும் தன்னை அறியாது அயலை அறிவது அறியாமை; அன்றி அறிவோ? அறிவு அயற்கு ஆதார தன்னை அறிய, அறிவு அறியாமை அறும். Padacchēdam (word-separation): aṟivu-uṟum taṉṉai aṟiyādu ayalai aṟivadu aṟiyāmai; aṉḏṟi aṟivō? aṟivu ayaṟku ādhāra taṉṉai aṟiya, aṟivu aṟiyāmai aṟum. English translation: Not knowing oneself, who knows, knowing other things is ignorance; besides, is it knowledge? When one knows oneself, the support for knowledge and the other, knowledge and ignorance will cease. Explanatory paraphrase: Instead of knowing [the reality of] oneself [ego], who knows [everything else], knowing other things is ignorance; except [that], is it knowledge? When one knows [the reality of] oneself [ego], the ādhāra [support, foundation or container] for knowledge and the other [ignorance], knowledge and ignorance [of everything else] will cease [because the reality of ego is just pure awareness, so when one knows oneself as pure awareness ego will no longer seem to exist, and hence all its knowledge and ignorance will cease to exist along with it].
