I am Thou

Sri Ramana Maharshi

A certain lady was singing a devotional song. It said among other things:

“Thou art my father,

Thou art my mother,

Thou art my relations,

My possessions and all,” and so on.

Sri Bhagavan remarked with a smile, “Yes, Yes, Thou art this, that and everything except ‘I’. Why not say ‘I am Thou’ and finish it?”
