Translations:Ramana Maharshi/3/en

Ramana Maharshi was an Indian schoolboy who early realized that his real nature was imperishable and unrelated to his body. He left his family, went to the holy mountain of Shiva, Arunachala, threw away all his possessions and money, and sat down to meditate. His body began to waste away, his hair and fingernails grew to unmanageable lengths, and insects ate away at his legs. He had such a longing for God that nothing else really mattered.
