He who knows the Self

[Guest guest]

Nome

From Mandala Six of Self-Knowledge

 

He who knows the Self

Knows all that is to be known.

Free of craving and aversion,

Expectation and fear,

At peace within himself,

He is free everywhere

And at all times.

One who, seeing the source of happiness

And the transitoriness of all things,

Treasures and adheres to the Nondual Truth,

Is absorbed in That which he treasures.

Know that he finds Bliss

In being what he treasures,

And he will know no separation.

The yogi who renounces all

And embraces Nondual Truth

Merges with the Absolute

Without a trace remaining.

He never returns to illusion,

For he has known its unreality.

He who knows the Absolute alone is

He who knows the Self.
