This text of 40 Verses was written by Bhagavan at the request of Muruganar, who wanted a concise synopsis of Ramana’s teaching, and wanted 40 verses to fit a classical Hindu poetic form. Ramana wrote the verses as they came to him, and Muruganar arranged them in a particular order.  Translated by Arthur Osborne Music: Time for Peace - "One" - Part 1 - (Meeting Silence)  https://timeforpeace.bandcamp.com/With deep gratitude to Swami Madhuram Puri for the offering of his beautiful music to use on my channel. 🙏 May whatever goodness arises from these readings/offerings be for the benefit of all sentient beings.
