" So ham " in Sanskrit

means " I am He. "

 

Reversed, " hamsa "

means " swan. "

 

This way is the way of those

who remember I am He, He is me,

" so ham, " swan, and " hamsa, " all one

soaring beauty and freedom.

 

No matter that we're busy in business

night and day. We don't care

what profit comes.

 

We live alone

inside the Lord.

 

- Lalla

14th Century North Indian mystic
