The ego false and transient,

makes the transient world

seem real and lasting.

 

And if it dies,

the Self abides,

as the sole Being

and ground

of this phenomenal universe.

 

Unbroken Self-awareness

is the true bright path

of devotion or love.

 

Knowledge of our inherent nature

as indivisible Bliss supreme

wells up as Love.
