I thought that it would be of interest here.

>From Mandala Four: Self-Knowledge and the Destruction of

Ignorance

 

To know the Truth

Of one's own Self

Is the way to be liberated

>From all ignorance,

Its delusion of bondage,

And its consequent suffering.

Ignorance is merely

An inverted view

Of the one ever-same Existence,

An inverted attempt

to know the Reality of the Self.

Samsara is Brahman seen unclearly;

Ego is the Self seen unclearly.

Brahma-nirvana is extinguishments

Of the notion there is a samsara.

Realization is knowing

The non existence of the ego.

Liberation is freedom

>From the notion that there is bondage.

To destroy samsara,

Destroy ignorance.,

Destroy the ego.

To destroy the ego,

Know the Self.

To know the Self is

To know the Truth
