For the sake of the Self

[Guest guest]

Nome, from Mandala Ten of his book, " Self-Knowledge "

 

For the sake of the Self

Are all loved.

Love & #8213;the unitary feeling of Being & #8213;

Inseparable from divine Knowledge,

In the Realization of the formless Self,

The Self that dwells

In the hearts of all.

In devotion deep,

All love's expressions

Are acceptable,

Regardless of apparent duality,

Provided the devotee

Harbors no egoism.

Cessation of frantic contention

By the false ego,

With its attendant dualism,

As if a second power,

Is sweet surrender.

All the teachings are taught,

All blessings bestowed,

All instruction followed,

All devotion surges up,

All love pours forth,

For the sake of the Self.
