*Translation into English by Sri Sadhu Om Swamigal & Mr. Michael James - reproduced from "Sri Ramana Gitam" 1980 edition* 1. What do I need, what do I not need - my Lord is the One who better knows than I ! As He is both Father and Mother to those votaries who need Him, after whom else need I His son, run ! (What do I need...) 2. If he were to give me whatever I want, would it be proper? Can there be anything better than what Sri Ramana wants? He will give whatever he wishes ! Can one who asks be His slave? Can the deed of He who is all - knowing be wrong ? (What do I need...) 3. The happiness of a desireless life - that alone is happiness! The consciousness free of thoughts - that is the greatest happiness ! I proclaim that He who gives me the fearless life is my Father alone ! On the other hand, whatever is given by others is misery ! (What do I need...) 4. He makes me see whatever is good for me to see ! My ears, nose, skin and tongue He likewise ties ! He is ever protecting me lest the ego rises ! According to the occasion, He makes me act ! (What do I need ...) 5. Where and when and what I need to do, there and then and in that way He makes me act - need I ask (what I should do) ? Nothing wrong but only good can touch me, can it not ? What is there for me to gain except Sri Ramana ? (What do I need ...) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
