Upadesa Saram, Major Alan Chadwick version, verses 24,25,26,27

[Guest guest]

24.

 

In their real nature as Existence both

Creatures and the Creator are the same,

The unique Principle. In attributes

And knowledge only is a difference found.

 

 

25.

 

Realization of the Self alone,

Eliminating all its attributes,

Is God-realization of a truth,

As it is He that shines forth as the Self.

 

 

26.

 

To be the Self, that is to know the Self,

As there is no duality in in Self;

This is Thanmaya-Nishta, or the state

Of absolutely being That in truth.

 

27.

 

That knowledge is true knowledge which

transcends.

Knowledge and ignorance both equally,

And this alone is truth. For there is no

Subject or object there that can be known.
