Name and form hide reality

Name and form hide Reality: This is the Teaching.

Giving name and form is an obstacle to Freedom because

then the Substratum, Consciousness, cannot be seen.

Call it a statue of a horse and the granite is hidden,

see a ring and you won't see the gold.

Name and form can never leave Consciousness,

as the ring can never leave the gold.

Even space is in this because only Self is.

May all be happy.

May all be without disease.

May all share in the well-being.

May none be in misery of any kind whatsoever.

May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.

 

- Invocation from the Upanishads
