To abide as the Self

[Guest guest]

Nome

from Mandala Three of

Self-Knowledge

 

To abide as the Self

Is Bliss uncaused and unbroken.

The Bliss inherent in this

Nondual Being-Consciousness

Is as expansive as the sky,

Yet so close within you.

Happiness is within.

Within is the Self.

The search for happiness

Is the search for oneself,

The finding of oneself

Is the happiness perfect.

Freedom, peace, and happiness fused

Are the singular experience

Of the true Self.

No fulfillment in illusion,

No deficiency in the Self;

No happiness in dualism,

No suffering in nonduality;

One is truly happy

Only by abiding

At the very Source of all happiness,

As the Bliss of the Self.

Bliss uncaused and unbroken is

To abide as the Self.
