Who is the Self

 

I am the Sitter.........

when i sit walking is dormant in me

I am the walker------

when i walk sitting is dormant in me...

when i move .......

stillness is dormant in me...

 

When i sit, i sit as all those who sit.. just then..

all modes of sitting reside in my sitting.

 

When i walk, i walk as all those walking beings.

all modes and styles of walking reside in me.

 

When i see, i see as all those who see.

everything seen resides in me.

 

When i hear, i hear all who hear ---

All hearing and every sound resides in me.

 

I taste as all who eat, at that moment --

i am the eater of all food, and am eaten also.

 

In my sitting i am awake, i do not have to think

of all those others residing in my sitting.

 

When walking, i walk i am present in my walking.

i do not think of the countless beings who are walking.... just then.

 

Sleeping, i sleep as all sleepers, i am awake to myself.

Conscious of myself, all who are awake are awake in me.

 

I am the Self, residing in myself --- or all unknown

I exist in all those who think they are the actors and doers.

yet am not known by them ... all in me --- I in them all.

 

Dormant in them, their minds asleep, they do not know me.

 

or a variation........

When i sit, i sit as all those who sit -- just then..

All modes of sitting reside in my sitting.

 

When i walk, i walk as all those walking beings.

all modes and styles of walking reside unseen in me.

 

When i see, i see as all those who see.

everything seen and unseen resides in me.

 

When i hear, i hear all who hear ---

every sound heard and unheard resides in me.

Unseen in them, their minds asleep, they do not know me.

Namaste Bindu-Ji:

 

That is why our sages defined the concept of "purruSha"

 

..... as "puri shete iti puruShaH".

 

Meaning - The one who is latently residing within a given body.

 

Regards,

 

Dr. Yadu
