From dawn to dusk I spend my day in vain talks,

From dawn to dusk I spend my day in vain talks,
Not even for a moment do I think "Who am I?‘ My Lord, you have told me if you  speak one word it will multiply into many words.

Ramana Deva, I am only pretending to be your devotee and not conducting myself as one.

I am a sinner who wastes most of his time listening to others‘ misdeeds and talking about them.

I have many defects myself, but if others mention them, my mind boils with rage.

Thinking that there is no harm in it, I do not hesitate to utter small lies. Oh!
Ramana Deva, is it not high drama to fall at your feet as if I am your devotee?

Though I have become old and suffer from various diseases, I have not destroyed the  desire for women.

The ghost of my mind desires to see their beautiful faces, converse with them, and listen to their honey-like speech.

Even though I give advice to the mind, it does not subside but wanders after them. Ramana Deva, when will this delusion end and my mind become firm? 

You know that my qualities and character are poor. You also know that among the ignorant full of defects, I am the worst.

Though you know all this, you still sort me and took possession of me. Ramana Deva, 

how can I explain this wonder?...........Sivaprakasam Pillai ((devotee who lived with ramana maharishi))

One devotee asked Bhagavan, ―Bhagavan, Sivaprakasam Pillai was such a 

great ascetic. He unswervingly put your teachings into practice. Reading 

his poems, I wonder where I stand! If he is in this wretched state, what 

will happen to me?‖ Bhagavan responded with a beautiful reply: ―When 

extolling God, Adi Shankara and other sages have berated their selves 

and said the same thing.  This is how  the sages guide others and warn 

aspiring aspirants.‖
