Never doing, always Being

[Guest guest]

Nome

from Mandala Eight of Self-Knowledge

 

Never doing, always Being.

Never a thing, always Being.

Never an event, always Being.

Never a body, always Being.

It is you who declare anything is real.

An object declares not

Its own reality.

To know Reality,

Know yourself

It is better to say

That the world is in you

Than you are in the world.

A mountain of responsibilities

Is as light as a feather

If the world is known

To be unreal.

An unreal body

Performs unreal actions

In an unreal world.

The bodiless Self you are,

Never doing, always Being.
