John/Jnaneswar/When ALL is liberated NO ONE is liberated!

[Guest guest]

Hi John,

 

Here are some selections from Jnaneshwar's poetry from an old post.

*************************

 

It can be seen, therefore,

That he who perceives that there is nothing

Does not himself become nothing.

The Self has this same unique kind of existence,

Beyond both existence and non-existence.

 

The ultimate Reality

Is neither an object to Itself

Nor is It an object to anyone else.

Should it then be regarded as non-existent?

 

In a tank the water may be so clear

That it appears non-existent;

Though one who looks into the tank may not see it,

Still it is there.

 

Similarly,

The ultimate Reality exists in Itself,

And is beyond the conceptions

Of existence or non-existence.

 

JNANESHVAR

 

The book from which this excerpt is taken, is entitled "Jnaneshvar:

Mystic-Poet," by S. Abhyayananda. It is published by Atma Books,

Hello Harsha, No, I'm not familiar with Jnaneshwar, but will do

some searching for his poetry. Thanks for the tip, have a good day.
