In a Zoom meeting on 20th August 2021 2021 Subu and Michael discuss various aspects of the teachings of Bhagavan Ramana, particularly letting go of desires and attachments by investigating ourself.

During this discussion Michael refers to and/or discusses the following passages from Bhagavan’s writings:
Ēkāṉma Pañcakam verse 1
Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu verses 24 and 25
Nāṉ Ār? paragraphs 10 and 11
He also spoke about verses in which Bhagavan compared the love that Arunachala has for his devotees to the love that a mother has for her child, such as Śrī Aruṇācala Akṣaramaṇamālai verses 6 and 14 and the last line of Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai verse 5:
ஈன்றிடு மன்னையிற் பெரிதருள் புரிவோ
யிதுவோ வுனதரு ளருணாசலா
īṉḏṟiḍu maṉṉaiyiṟ peridaruḷ purivō
yiduvō vuṉadaru ḷaruṇācalā
பதச்சேதம்: ஈன்றிடும் அன்னையில் பெரிது அருள் புரிவோய், இதுவோ உனது அருள் அருணாசலா?
Padacchēdam (word-separation): īṉḏṟiḍum aṉṉaiyil peridu aruḷ purivōy, iduvō uṉadu aruḷ aruṇācalā?
English translation: Arunachala, you who bestow kindness more than the mother who gave birth, is this your kindness?
Explanatory paraphrase: Arunachala, you who bestow kindness [grace or compassion] more than the mother who gave birth [to one], is this your kindness [grace or compassion]?
ஔவைபோ லெனக்குன் னருளைத் தந்தெனை
யாளுவ துன்கட னருணாசலா
auvaipō leṉakkuṉ ṉaruḷait tandeṉai
yāḷuva duṉkaḍa ṉaruṇācalā
பதச்சேதம்: ஔவை போல் எனக்கு உன் அருளை தந்து, எனை ஆளுவது உன் கடன் அருணாசலா.
Padacchēdam (word-separation): auvai pōl eṉakku uṉ aruḷai tandu, eṉai āḷuvadu uṉ kaḍaṉ aruṇācalā.
English translation: Arunachala, giving me your grace like a mother, taking charge of me is your duty.
Explanatory paraphrase: Arunachala, giving me your grace [love, kindness or compassion] like a mother, taking charge of me is your duty [or obligation].
நேரான துண்டோதாய் சிசுவுக் காற்று நிகரற்ற நலனுக்கு நிகழ்த்து வாயே.
nērāṉa duṇḍōtāy śiśuvuk kāṯṟu niharaṯṟa nalaṉukku nihaṙttu vāyē.
பதச்சேதம்: நேர் ஆனது உண்டோ தாய் சிசுவுக்கு ஆற்றும் நிகர் அற்ற நலனுக்கு? நிகழ்த்துவாயே.
Padacchēdam (word-separation): nēr āṉadu uṇḍō tāy śiśuvukku āṯṟu nihar aṯṟam nalaṉukku? nihaṙttuvāyē.
English translation: Tell [me], is there anything that is comparable to the unequalled good that a mother does for [her] child? [You are my mother and I am your child, so take care of me accordingly.]
Michael also spoke about the importance of studying and thinking deeply about the meaning and implications of all of Bhagavan’s original writings, of which the most important ones are:
ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல ஸ்துதி பஞ்சகம் (Śrī Aruṇācala Stuti Pañcakam), the ‘Five Hymns to Śrī Aruṇācala’, which consists of:
ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல அக்ஷரமணமாலை (Śrī Aruṇācala Akṣaramaṇamālai)
ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல நவமணிமாலை (Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai)
ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல பதிகம் (Śrī Aruṇācala Patikam)
ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல அஷ்டகம் (Śrī Aruṇācala Aṣṭakam)
ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல பஞ்சரத்னம் (Śrī Aruṇācala Pañcaratnam)
and
உபதேச வுந்தியார் (Upadēśa Undiyār)
உள்ளது நாற்பது (Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu)
ஏகான்ம பஞ்சகம் (Ēkāṉma Pañcakam)
அப்பளப் பாட்டு (Appaḷa Pāṭṭu)
ஆன்ம வித்தை (Āṉma-Viddai)
நானார்? (Nāṉ Ār?)
During the last minute of this video Michael also spoke about usefulness of Sri Sadhu Om’s book ஸ்ரீ ரமண வழி (Śrī Ramaṇa Vaṙi), which is translated into English as The Path of Sri Ramana.
