Self Knowledge

I am the earth, the star and the sky,
The water, the cloud and the air,
I am the universe and everything in it,
The beings that were and would be,
I am not the body with a name,
Nor the ego that came with it,
I am not the photograph on the wall,
That will remain after me,
I am not the slave of time,
Nor the master of fate,
I am as much of you as you are of me,
For you and I are brief expressions of eternity!

Good way to put it. Both linked to the advaita philosophy!
