Thought

Who am I? Student asks one night,

To one with face of wisdom’s light


I am not the wind-blown mind,

Nor changeful thinking intellect,

Nor fragile ego strutting proud,

Nor sensitivities hushed or loud.


I am He; I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!


Not earth, nor gold nor iron nor sky,

No birth, no death, no caste have I;

No status, luck or wealth have come,

For father and mother have I none.


I am He; I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!


Beyond fanciful flights and devoid of form

Permeating through the living limbs of all.

Bound not by form, nor sense of mine or me

I fear not bondage for, I am free, ever free.


I am He; I am He, Blessed spirit, I am He!


(Adapted from Adi Shankaracharya’s poem)


Prayer

O Immortal Self attract my mind to Thee through my Guru’s grace. Grant that I may understand what Sri Shankaracharya has expressed: “if to the Guru's feet thy heart untethered still remain. Then all thou hast achieved on earth is vain, is vain, is vain.”
