The individual soul is a combination of
body and the real self
appearing as one.
When they are separated
the individual soul as such cannot
subsist any longer.
Are not body, vital energy and
all mind-modifications percepts?
Consciousness, the Self,
is there perceiver.
Those who forgetting this identify Self
with body, mind, etc. live in bondage.
Those who by wise discrimination rise above
this wrong identification,
becomes liberated and rest in peace in their true nature.

One does not need to be told
for one knows it clearly
that the ‘I’ does not change.
The ‘I’ persists in all stages
It is there when there is thought
It is there when there is no thought.
If so, what other evidence is needed
to show that it cannot be doer or enjoyer
which means change?
At the time a thing is being done,
There is no thought or feeling
that one is doing it
This is further proof that one
is not a doer.
Claiming to have done a thing
after the doing
cannot make one a doer.
The intense feeling
that one is
neither doer
nor enjoyer
removes all bondage
And one’s real nature
comes to light thereby.

The real self is that changeless,
unbroken peace and harmony,
into which thoughts and feelings merge.
To see it,
enter it,
establish it as the ‘I’,
removes all delusions and brings in lasting peace.

The light in the perception of sense objects is
the changeless Real Self.
The One without a second which abides infilling it all.
To see It as It is
the objects must be separated from It
or else they must be made to point towards It.
The ‘I’ must be removed from body to the Real Self.
Freedom from bondage, peace and happiness will flow from it.

What has been perceived can come up in memory.
The embodied ‘I’,
who perceived, did or enjoyed anything,
also comes up in memory from time to time.
This means that the embodied ‘I’
was witnessed by another ‘I’
This is the real I.

He, whose mind is captivated by the beauty of a figure, sculptured in a piece of rock, is not aware of the fact that the rock is the background.
When he rises above this captivation, he sees the background, the rock, which supports the figure.
When the rock receives attention, first the rock is seen in the figure, and later on the figure is seen as nothing else as the rock.
Enlightenment of truth comes in this manner.
Consciousness, the real I, becomes dimmed chiefly through one’s captivation in external objects.
When one outgrows this interest and looks at the objects, it will be found that they rise and abide in Consciousness alone.
When Consciousness begins to receive attention, it becomes revealed in the objects as well, and they themselves will in due course become transformed into Consciousness.

Objects are rising in Consiousness
When they disappear Consiousness remains
And not nothingness.

Consciousness going outwards to objects is mind
That what reflects is pure happiness
The mind is not the target
It can be used as a tool
But also lead to bondage
Pure happiness is the target

Individuals come into being
Rise and fall
Fight against each other
And die
Waves of the sea come into being
Rise and fall
Strike against each other
And vanish
Storms ravages the sea
Swishes the waves sky high
Strikes wild to deserted coasts
Seeking for rest and peace
A windless period changes the sea
into an endless smooth mirror
in which the sun reflects
thousand times
Thousand of little beams
are playing over the sea
There is no end
After struggle is reflection
One is looking for the truth
In thousand different ways
To the one deep in your hart
Waves have their birth
and dead in the sea
Like individuals in reality
The sea and waves are nothing else as
water
Individuals are nothing else as
harmony
When waves should realize that
the sea is their common support
Every fight ceases
What first appeared as two is realized as one.
