Previous Poem, Self is what you are Part One, You are the One which is aware. Next Poem, You are the Timelessness in which no death can enter

You are the One which is aware

of the awareness of objects and ideas.

You are the One that is even more silent than awareness.

You are the Life which precedes the concept of life.

Your nature is silence and it is not attainable;

It always is.

You are Emptiness, the ultimate Substance:

removing Emptiness out of Emptiness

leaves only Emptiness because there is nothing beyond It.

Emptiness is between “is” and “is not”

and nothing is out of this Emptiness so it is the Fullness.

To be Free you need the firm conviction

that you are this Substratum, this Peace, this Emptiness.

All rises from,

dances about in,

and returns to This.

As Ocean rises as a wave to dance,

so you are this Dancing Emptiness!
