The knowledge of brahman

• There is nothing far or near ;
  Nothing as high or nothing as low ;
  He is the same within and without ;
  Amrit says for all and sundry (1)
  

• The lord makes possible impossible
  And impossible possible ;
  He is omnipotent
  That impells to keep silent (2)
  

• There are two streams - Nirguna and Saguna,
  Nirguna without attributes and Saguna with ones.
  But Amrit, the liberated, is above duality ;
  The silence removes the intellectual fatigue (3)
  

• aBurning coal on the pile of straw,
  Branch of a tree without any roots,
  Water with nothing to contain it in ;
  All contradictions
  Resolve in BRAHMAN
  Amrit says to view them together (4)
  

• It is not false ; it is not true
  It is not beyond the coast, it is not on this side
  The senses and the mind can not scan it
  Amrit contemplates the real nature (5)
  

• It does not belong to a particular caste,
  Not to a sub-caste, nor to an asrama,
  There is no distinction between the high and the low ;
  Amrit says it is immutable ONE, even the veda testify it || (6)
  

• It is indescribable, final and boundless
  Without characteristics, total and matchless
  Indomitable, stable and unborn Amrit says
  Unfathomable, unapproachable always beyond (7)
  

• In the state liberation, There is no meditation,
  No meditator Nor any object of meditation ;
  There is none who is known,
  Nor one who knows, nor the act of knowing,
  So testifies the revered sage, Sri Amrit Nath ji (8)
  

• Who is to bind and who can be bound,
  Who will unbind and whom will he
  All is merely idea alone,
  What is there in speech and silence | (9)
  

• No yogi perfect, No aspirant for perfection,
  Nothing that cannot be attained
  Or that which can be attained ; No action, no medium of action
  Amrit says nothing that binds, Nor is one to be bound (10)
  

• No love, nor lover, Who is the beloved and whose belover ?
  Remembrance and negligence
  Do they mean anything When there is none who knows
  The knowledge and the known?(11)
  

• The truth unusual and unique,
  Unmani is only a state and idea,
  Waking dreaming and deep slumber -
  The phases in ignorance, the fourth as the witness (12)
  

• Amrit, the sage revered, exhorts,
  The aspirants, to realise
  Worldly dealings are only a dream,
  The self is in the slumber state
  The fourth is the truth
  Of the BRAHMAN - This should be realised (13)
  

• Amrit, the sage of divine,
  reveals the truth unique ;
  The word, the feel of touch, form
  taste and fragrance
  Are forms of element, five in number.
  The essentials of these are tanmatras,
  The subtler aspects of the elements ;
  Thus says the sage (14)
  

• The eyes, the nose, the tongue and the ears
  And the skin are the media of perception ;
  The hands, the feet, the tongue, the anus
  And the phalus are the tools of action || (15)
  

• The abode of soul,
  The body physique,
  Has many aspects ;
  The gross, the subtle,
  The causal the super causal,
  The BRAHMAN alone, the KEWALA,
  The truth of being,
  Is worthy O searching and of finding (16)
  

• The gross body functions
  In the state of waking up ;
  The subtle in the dreaming one ;
  The causal, the karana in the slumber
  And KEWALA aspect works in the fourth || (17)
  

• The twenty four are all real -
  The five gross elements,
  The ten media and the tools
  Of perception and action
  The four aspects of the inner self
  The mind, the intellect, attending faculty
  and ego - the self awareness
  These constitute the functional body. || (18)
  

• All twenty four active in waking
  nine work in the state of dream,
  In the state of slumber they all merge
  In the fourth, they all merge into that which is one (19)
  

• The three states of consciousness,
  The waking dreaming and slumber
  Are distinct for the practitioner of yoga,
  For the accomplished one, the fourth is in the first (20)
  

• The five sheaths, The three attributes,
  The three states, Relate to the body
  The true self, the atman Is different than these
  One should discern (21)
  

• As long a there is error,
  there is dualism,
  Error rectified, then only oneness
  Amrit says, in final reckoning
  Neither two nor one
  Neither high nor low, neither good nor bad (22)
  

• The world is the game of the supreme,
  He himself being the player.
  There is nothing which matters in play
  Å¡an+kara sums in fact the truth (23)
  

• The self reflects all around
  There is nothing else but him
  ’I and you’ the play of words,
  This explains the sage Amrit Natha (24)
  

• Four Vedas six Scriptures
  And Gita divine bear testimony,
  Strong and firm - the one supreme
  Permeates creation evenly and totally.
  So says Å¡an+kara (25)
