The See of Awareness, Part One

1.

You’ve been led to that deep well of awareness

But only you can drink from, and dissolve in, that.

2.

That awareness is the substrate, the real self, paramatman,

And not yourself.

3.

Not only is that sea of awareness always there,

This superimposition of yourself is merely conceptual, dreamlike, maya.

4.

Any thought, including yourself, is merely floating in that awareness,

like waves in the sea, like words burning in a fire.

5.

The more time you float in that water of awareness,

The more realized is that water is the sea, and there all the time.

6.

And further, time is just a concept floating on that timelessness,

And I am, in truth, that timeless awareness.
