Astavakra Samhita - 6

[Guest guest]

Translation by Thomas Byrom

---------------------------

 

Chapter 6 - Knowledge

 

 

1 I am boundless space.

The world is a clay pot.

 

This is the truth.

 

There is nothing to accept,

Nothing to reject,

Nothing to dissolve.

 

2 I am the ocean.

All the worlds are like waves.

 

This is the truth.

Nothing to hold on to,

Nothing to let go of,

Nothing to dissolve.

 

3 I am the mother-of-pearl

The world is a vein of silver,

An illusion!

 

This is the truth.

 

Nothing to grasp,

Nothing to spurn,

Nothing to dissolve.

 

4 I am in all beings.

All beings are in me.

 

This is the whole truth.

 

Nothing to embrace,

Nothing to relinquish,

Nothing to dissolve.
