The Bliss of the Self

[Guest guest]

Nome

From Mandala Three of

Self-Knowledge

 

The Bliss of the Self,

Joy of the Absolute,

Is the state of Being,

Unveiled, Self-revealed, as it is. Suffering is needless,

And grief unrelated,

To immortal Reality.

Misidentification, ignorance,

Alone causes suffering.

Self-Knowledge is Bliss,

Reality Self-revealed.

You are never required

To be bound or to suffer.

You are always required

To be free, at peace,

And happy within.

Suffering has no basis,

No real, valid cause;

All so-called causes mere excuses, Illusion's experience of itself.

Suffering is not

Inherent in life;

The Bliss of the Absolute

Is what is innate.

This is the Bliss,

Real and eternal,

The Bliss of the Truth,

The Bliss of the Self.
