all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does

not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is.

Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee

relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into

It Self. Welcome all to a.

Ah, a breath of fresh air,

clear and light.

 

Clear light hides not,

reveals not.

 

Neither in front or behind.

In front of me and behind me,

there's nothing else.

 

Ah, a deep breath of clear light.

Never saw itself, so

seeing *is*, being *is*.

 

At the cusp of clarity

and light,

I said not a word,

Nothing was made clear or unclear.

 

Couldn't make a stand

or raise my hand,

So free I stood,

and waved real good.

Hand me my That

said the Cat.

Oui, oui said Not.

It's All I've got.

 

Not even all That,

said the Cat,

who came back

as That.
