Neti Neti

Neti Neti, I am not the Body Neti Neti, I am not the Mind If I am not the Body and Mind Who am I? This must be defined Tat Twam Asi, I am the Divine Soul, I find If the Truth you want to know Then on a Journey, you must go You must Realize 'You are That, not this' Until you realize the truth, there will be no bliss Then only will Heaven open its door Ghor Avidya is Gross Ignorance I lived with the Myth, in a trance Because I didn't know this was just my name I got caught in my wealth and my fame And the Truth just missed my glance This world is a Leela, a drama I see We are just Actors, just transitory The earth is a Stage, we come and we go Nothing is real, it is all just a show We must transcend the Mind and Ego, ME Tattva Bodha is the Knowledge of the Body We are made of elements five From dust we come and to dust we will go This Body is not real, this Truth we must know To Realize this Truth, we must strive Atma Bodha is the Wisdom of the Soul It is the Power that makes us roll When we realize we are the Atman, the Soul, the Spirit Not the skin that is outside, but the Power that is in it Then we achieve our Life's ultimate goal We must start a Talaash, a Quest And put all our beliefs to test We must Ask, Investigate and Realize Only then will we open our 'real' eyes And our Ignorance will come to rest Sravana, Manana, Nididhyasana The steps to the Truth are three We must first read and then listen And contemplate to realize what is within Then from Rebirth we will be free Sat Darshana is the Vision of the Truth It helps us catch the evil brute It makes us realize we are not the Body and Mind We are the Soul, we Realize and we find As we get to the bottom of the root Maya is a Cosmic Illusion It makes us live in delusion It has the power to project the Myth As it does, it conceals the Truth And thus, it corrupts our vision Aparoksh Anubhuti is Intuitive Realization We experience the Truth and get Liberation It is not knowledge that we can get from a book It is beyond what the ordinary eyes can look But the reward is Divine Unification Why are we talking of all this? We don't realize that this is Bliss When we go on a quest, our beliefs to test We search and search with all our zest We must not stop or the reward we will miss There are many who are caught in this world of pleasure They think that money and wealth is the real treasure They are prisoners of their Body and Mind
