Upadesa Saram - Major Alan Chadwick version, verses 21-22

[Guest guest]

21.

 

This is eternally the true import

Of the term "I". For in the deepest sleep

We do not cease to be, we still exist

Even though here, there is no sense of "I".

 

22.

The body nor the senses, mind nor life,

Nor even ignorance, for all these things

Are quite insentient and so unreal.
