No difference

[Guest guest]

Nome

from Mandala Eight of Self Knowledge

 

No Difference, no difference,

Ever really exists

In the one Indivisible,

That, the Existence of all.

As the dimension of depth

Of the image in the mirror

Does not truly exist,

So differentiation

Exists not truly

In the one Self.

Any object of experience

Has no more existence,

Separate from the Self,

Than the printed letters

From the paper page,

The waves from water,

Or the ring from the gold

Of which it is made.

All of " this "

Is like the picture of a wall

Painted on the same wall,

When the wall itself

Has not yet been built.

One ever is,

Self without other;

No difference, no difference.
