Yoga Sasishta Sara

[Guest guest]

Chapter One.

 

22. When pots are broken the space within them

becomes unlimited. So also when bodies cease to

exist the Self remains eternal and unattached.

 

23. Nothing whatever is born or dies at any time.

It is Brahman alone appearing illusorily in the form

of the world.

 

24. The Self is more extensive than space; it is pure,

subtle, un-decaying and auspicious. As such how can

it be born and how can it die?

 

25. All this is the tranquil, One without beginning,

middle or end, which cannot be said to be existent

or non-existent. Know this and be happy.

[personal note] And now its time for this old pilgrim to

abandon the keyboard for some unknown while as I go

in search of a missing ox.
