Song of Ribhu, Chapter 14, Verse 1-6

[Guest guest]

As we read through Ribhu a bit each day, I find Chapter 14, Inquiring

Into the Undivided Nature, very worthwhile, and thought that I would

post from it the way we read it, a few verses at a time. I posted a

few verses before. I will post again, in the same sequence as is in

the book.

 

What I have found is best is to read this aloud, even if your are by

yourself. I would suggest that you consider that approach.

 

Read, reflect, deeply meditate ...

Listen, in this exposition,

To the gist of the secret of all the settled conclusions.

There is not duality or nonduality, which are talked about.

Only the peaceful Brahman is ever existent.

Brahman, which is the One that exists

Without defect, always, everywhere, is you and I.

All are of the nature of that Supreme Brahman.

Hence, you should start inquiring into this.
