self is everywhere,
shining forth out of all beings,
vaster than the vast, subtler than the most subtle,
unreachable, yet nearer than breath, than heartbeat.

eye cannot see it,
ear cannot hear it
nor tongue utter it;
only in deep absorption can the mind,
grown pure and silent, merge with the formless truth.

he who finds it is free; he has found himself;
he has solved the great riddle; his heart forever is at peace.

whole, he enters the whole.

his personal self returns to
its radiant, intimate, deathless source.

as rivers lose name and form when they disappear into the sea,
the sage leaves behind all traces when he disappears into the light.

perceiving the truth, he becomes the truth;
he passes beyond all suffering, beyond all death;
all the knots of his heart are looosed.
