Arunachala

by Arthur Osborne
(1909 - 1970) Timeline

Original Language
English
Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist
20th Century

I sought to devour Thee:
Come now and devour me,
Then there will be peace, Arunachala.

You bade me give all for you --
Take now the giver too,
Survive alone, Arunachala!

Let now the deception end.
There was no lover or friend
Apart from Thyself, Arunachala!

Now that at last I know
All this a magic show,
Let it dissolve in Thee, Arunachala!
