Brahma I

If Brahma is Brahma I also am Brahma, then why am I wandering on a not real way holding something I don’t know in my hand? I can lead my life toward good because everything is Brahma, but I can live an evil life as well because everything comes from my ego. If Brahma is Brahma I can cross over the ego bury myself in meditation, though it may be a lonely and a trying way. Gather ashes from six* burnt senses and walk on the nonexistent way because I am a naught substance, though to be in a mode to attain spiritual awakening, my ego, stands in the middle of good and evil unable me to shake off tenacious carnal desire, it compels me to keep walking on the path of evil passions and if the terminal goal of life’s never ending circle is an attainment of spiritual awakening, and spiritual awakening is to walk in light, the brightness is the way; however, paradoxical, in a sense, is also true stupidity and ignorance though lay in the darkness, it may also be the way. Yet, the problem of life is still laying under my foot; and that is the chain of anguish which would never, ever, be cut off; I, therefore, collapse on the way while dragging the chain of a great weight it may be the end of anguish, a knot of a life’s circle, or a moment of a pause in the ever changing world, or it may well be a renewed life in Faramita the world of Paradise, or the beginning of another anguish in the transmigration of the soul, and that’s why I believe the nonexistent substance is the way to Brahma which is one same substance. Tat tvam asi, I am the Brahma Tat tvam asi, That art thou *Six senses: five basic physical senses plus soul or intellect.
