BRAHMAN

BRAHMAN

I am Brahman,
Brahman am I.
I am not 
This base body mind
I am Brahman.

Everything I see,
On the screen 
Of Consciousness
Awareness
Is also Brahman,
And I am THAT.

All is well,
Very very well
Unfolding as it must
So just trust
That Great Power
Brahman,
THAT knows the way.

Pure SELF Consciousness Awareness
Indeed is AUM
Brahman,
Greater than the greatest without end,
He or she who understands THAT
Meditates on AUM.
He or she conquers all worlds.

That spirit who's in the Sun,
The Moon,
Lightning,
Space,
Air,
Fire,
Water.
Is Brahman.


That spirit reflected in my mirror,
Of pure Self Consciousness
Awareness,
I adore THAT as Brahman.


THAT, indeed, from which
Dream Beings come,
And live,
Then departing from here re-enter,
Seek to know Brahman.


Brahman is food.
Out of food,
Dream Beings come,
Live, and into food,
They, leaving from here,
Again re-enter.


Seek to know Brahman
Through austerities
Of Surrender
And Self Enquiry.

Brahman is the life breath,
Mind and No Mind,
Knowledge,
Love and bliss,
Oh how wonderful, wonderful,
Truly wonderful!


When men and women brood
Over the Brahman,
There emerges
Renown, splendour,
Strength and manliness.


Brahman
Was indeed this world
Appearing in the beginning,
Boundless, unborn,
Unexplorable,and unthinkable,
Nothing above or below.


He is inconceivable,
The Highest Atman,
Immeasurable, unborn,
Unexplorable, 
Beyond verbal description.


When the Seer sees Him,
Shining like a gem of gold,
Creator Lord and Spirit,
Source of Brahman.
Then wise men or women,
Renounce the concept
Of Good and Evil
Uniting all in the Eternal
Highest One.

Like a mountain ablaze,
Deer and birds all flee,
From he or she who knows
Brahman.

When mind is merged
With Self,
It is Brahman,
The pure eternal One.
THAT is the true way.

Brahman has two forms,
Mortal and immortal,
Mobile and immobile,
One exists here,
The other transcends.

Brahman was this world
In the beginning,
The One,
The  boundless,
The inconceivable,
Highest Atman,
The Soul immeasurable.

Brahman
Unborn, unexplorable,
Unthinkable,
Is THAT whose Self
Is Infinitude.

It is He, who when
The whole world
Disappears;
Alone,
Remains awake.

It is He who awakens
The pure spirit,
Through Him alone,
In Him again,
It disappears.

His apparent form
Is full of splendour,
Like bright sunlight.
He who dwells in the Heart,
And He who shines in the Sun,
All these are that One,
The One alone.

Control of breath,
Withdrawal of senses,
Meditation,
Fixing the mind,
Sinking into trance,
Are infallible means to attain
Communion with Brahman.

All is then Brahman,
And I am That.
Liberation
Is attained,
Now and forever,
Amen.


AJ from the Upanishads
