The inquirer is the answer

[Guest guest]

Nome, from Mandala Nine of his book, 'Self-Knowledge'

 

The inquirer is the answer

To the inquiry into the Self

There can be no other answer.

There can be no other Self.

The Self itself

Is the knower, the Knowledge,

And That which is to be known,

Free of division and triads.

When there is

No meditator,

No meditation,

And no object of meditation,

The meditation is complete.

One who ardently meditates,

Inwardly keenly aware,

With the meditation of inquiry,

" Who am I? "

Being absorbed in Truth,

Abiding in Truth as Truth,

The Truth of the Self,

Finds by inquiry that

The inquirer is the answer.
