Who Is I?

The body has its destiny, 

The mind has its own, 

But in Consciousness,

Both the two are known. 

The knower is not the body,

The body is not the knower,

The knower is not the mind, 

The mind is not the knower, 

The body, the mind, the individual,

Have no sight, to say, -of their own,

But appear, disapper in the Light, 

Wherein they are always known.

The body was born, will die too sure, 

The mind is movement, is but caught,

In that Light where they are are thought, 

The two appear and disappear together.

In the absence of one, the other is never.

The Consciousness the light is the support,

Where the two are ever, latent or manifest. 

The Light, Steady, Unbroken, and Timeless,

Reveals them and their time and space.

When the Attention is broght upon there, 

The body-mind, and time-space disappear.

Yet shines, in the Heart, the Light Radiant, 

Within and without, Luminous, Self-Radiant.

The Eternal presence, is its Evidence own, 

For, Who else is there, to say Ihave known!
