From the Prefatory Verses:

1. This Light [i.e., these verses] of the Guru’s Teachings, which destroys the base nature of mind — ‘I’ and ‘mine’ — shines as Self, illuminating our hearts, whenever we long with increasing despair for Grace.

2. The Eternal One graciously took the form of Guru [Rāmana] and lovingly claimed me — who was a victim to the delusion ‘I am the body’ — as His own, reforming me with the sense ‘I am not this filthy inert body’. May my head rest beneath the Feet of the Benign, Gracious, Silent Guru.

3. The perfect Jñāna-Guru [Rāmana] ably and precisely presents the right meaning on many contradictory subjects, and passes apt judgement over various discussions, revealing the One Supreme Truth that lies in harmony among them all. May my head rest beneath His Feet.

4. This clear Light of Supreme Truth was not lit by my innocent, infant mind, which has not seen the Truth. It was lit by the fully ripened Supreme Knowledge of my Master Śrī Rāmana.

5. Many instructions to root out ignorance [i.e. inattention to Self] were given by my Beloved Eternal Companion [Śrī Rāmana] whose Real Form is That [sat-chit] which exists, shines, and reveals Itself as ‘I’. I now recount some of those instructions which my mind has grasped and preserved.

6. I, being there where Rāmana embraced me, will recount a little of the nature of the Supreme Truth which I have come to know in my life of Divine Union with Him, my Master.

7. I now compose and string together all the Supreme Truth that I come to know through the Divine Glance bestowed upon me by my Lord Guru Rāmana, who destroyed my delusion caused by the ego sense, leaving me in a state of clarity.

8. The benefit of this Light of Supreme Truth is the understanding that there is not the least thing such as ‘attainment’, since the Supreme Self is the Ever-Attained One Whole. Thus the mental wanderings caused by striving towards Dharma, Artha, and Kama are also removed.
9. Self, which is one’s own true nature, is the substratum of all happiness in this and in other worlds. Therefore, to be firmly established in Self, unshaken by thoughts concerning the various other paths [Karmas, Yogas etc.] that lead only to the pleasures of this and other worlds, is the fruit of this work.
