Surpassing Love and Grace

That light whose smile kindles the Universe,
That Beauty in which all things work and move,
That Benediction which the eclipsing curse
Of birth can quench not, that sustaining Love
Which through the web of being blindly wove
By man and beast and earth and air and sea,
Burns bright or dim, as each are mirrors of
The fire for which all thirst; now beams on me
Consuming the last clouds of cold mortality.

– P.B.Shelly

“It is effulgent Devi Uma sparkling in your eyes dispelling the ignorance of devotees,
It is Lakshmi Devi, the consort of lotus-eyed Vishnu, alive in your lotus-face,
It is Para Vak Saraswati, the consort of Brahma, dancing in your talk,
Great Seer, Ramana, the Teacher of the whole world, How can mortal man praise you adequately?”
