Ashtavakra Gita Verse 19:2
19.2
“Where is meditation, pleasure, prosperity
or discrimination? Where is duality?
Where even is Unity?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Verse revisited on 23-March-2022
To know what is, discern what is not
Thus neti-neti, not this, not this, ephemeral
We look for truth, making singular, seeming plural
Yet senses externalised, everything’s sized in thought slot
The cosmic egg, womb of existence, lies within as Hiranyagarbha
Splitting, one becomes two, the two many, in-form polarity
Separation creates a yearning for union by parity
Samadhi resolves paradox of life’s enigma
There then thus is no doer meditating
All that is, is but Spanda or vibration in motion
Truth’s here now known in the void of breath cessation
Vibrant, all encompassing, luminous consciousness, scintillating
