Ashtavakra Gita Verse 20:7
20.7
“Where are creation and destruction?
Where is the end and the means?
Where is the seeker?
Where is attainment?
I am One”
Verse revisited on 04-November-2022
Dipping in and out of dreams that appear
Bliss is the constant that does form spear
And whilst mind-body too we see in decay
Bubbling rapture of is-ness is here to stay
We feel complete when with love we meld
In that continuum there is no will to bend
For all that is, is singular blissful presence
Vibrance of love and light's luminescence
The aspect of seeming ego consciousness
Arises and subsides in the sea of oneness
Awareness self-aware that's always alive
In and out of myriad illusions does so dive
Thus when we negate both fear and desire
There remains no fleeting object to aspire
Jiva, Atma and Paramatma merge as one
Singular soft white light of the central sun
Notes: Jiva = mind-body; Atma = Soul; Paramatma = God
