Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 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........ The Buddha 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 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. I taste as all who eat, at that moment -- I am the eater of all food, and everything 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 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. Unseen in them, their minds asleep, they do not know me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 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.
