Seeds of Contemplation

[Guest guest]

" I am not the knower,

nor the known,

nor the knowing.

These three are not real.

They only seem to be

when I am not known.

For I am flawless.

 

The body is false,

and so are its fears;

Heaven and hell, freedom and bondage,

It is all invention.

What can they matter to me?

I am awareness itself.

 

But O how wonderful!

I am the unbounded deep

In whom all living things

naturally arise,

rush against each other playfully,

and then subside. "

 

--Ashtavakara Gita, C.2, v.15,20 & 25--
