Truth
The Self
Listen to me, first-hand.
I am the Self, Unbound - Eternal - Absolute - Ocean.
​
Beyond the reach of mind and ego, I am,
I am the all-pervading Self, I am the all-pervading Ocean,
I am the Supreme, with no limitations, bounds, forms and shapes.
I am the forms in all forms,
I am the intelligence in all intellects,
I am the love in all Hearts,
I am the liberty in all freedoms;
I am the light in the light,
I am the sun in the sun,
I am the reflection of the Moon and Ocean,
in my own eye;
I am the meaning of all words,
I am the creative of all creations;
I have the breeze of the wind,
and the oxygen in leaves,
The only and one,
who lives in all yet, doesn't dwell;
I am the Self, the Self of all and all of them,
yet none of them.
SatChitAnanda Brahman remains my nature,
but not mine.
I own it all, yet not,
I am the sense of speech, remains of thought,
yet none at all;
I am the time of time,
the space of space,
yet not the duration and volume;
I am the hunger of hunger,
the thirst of thirst,
the smell of smell,
and the touch of touch;
I am the silence of noise,
and the noise of silence.
I am the Self, the Self of all and all of them,
yet none of them.
SatChitAnanda Brahman remains my nature,
but not mine.
The attributes of all attributes,
and also the -less in attribute,
the Teacher in Teacher,
the Student in Student,
the exchange between them,
yet afar from all Exchanges;
I am the Teacher's Grace,
the disciple's seeking,
yet not the Seeking-Sought-Seeker;
The hot in hot,
the cold in cold,
yet, both my jokes;
The Cosmos I am,
yet not the Non-Existent in Me;
I am the Creator, of everything and nothing,
Everything and Nothing, I am,
yet none of them.
I am the Self, the Self of all and all of them,
yet none of them.
SatChitAnanda Brahman remains my nature,
but not mine.
I am the I,
yet not the I;
I am the Self,
yet, not the Self in it;
I am,
yet, not the 'am' in it.
I am Brahman,
yet, who am I?
All of this,
yet nothing of it,
still, all of it and nothing of it,
remain my own jokes.
