Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 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. or.... i hear, do, see, nothing at all... there is no difference since i am all ... or not all... i am all...
