Notes About The Poem

Know Thyself- Tat Tvam Asi

Like a glowing candle in darkest night, a pure breath of perfume that brings delight, a silent thought in world of commotion, like a soothing word to scorched emotion, knowledge of self is absolute learning, aligns mind to state of perfect tuning, where the ego dissolves to nothingness, when the name, body become meaningless, when every breath becomes a sign of Him, when eyes glow even when surrounds are dim, an awakening flows through the being, that I am that which I have been seeking, the vastness and boundless of all there is, is packed within as His eternal bliss, that moment of self realisation, is that of divine communication, I am a part of that eternal light, like a candle glowing in darkest night!

the vastness and boundless of all there is, is packed within as His eternal bliss, Beautiful. This is a very rich Indian concept. I am that or I am he or Aham Brahma asmi. I think I am not wrong.
