Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Self-Realization by Sri Muruganar Even in the absence of this world in sleep A bodiless awareness is our Being. Release from all the sheaths, from form and ego, Is realization of our natural Self. The false dream ends when we wake up. Even so, the ego dies When the sun, the tru I, rises. Ego's destruction by strong self-enquiry Is what is known as Self-attainment. Though in this false world one may live on, The ending of both "I" and "mine" In the clarity of true awareness Void of every doubt, this only Is abidance in the bliss Of being That. The primal truth clings to the heart's deep core And can be seen by strong, keen search alone. Those who with a pestle's broad round end Probe for it rarely reach it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Muruganar: The Garland of Guru's Sayings, V. 443-446 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
