The Self

The eternal Self

I Reside in all

alike

in sinner and the saint

yet

not gaining any virtues

nor affected by any taint

of vice

Like an onlooker I see you all

from raw to ripe

fool and wise

yet

yet remain silent

like scent 

in the flower 

or as in body resides

the power

unseen, yet the very essence

in the whole space I am present

concealed from your eyes

complex even for the mind

yet known to the Wise

who waked up from the night

of ignorance

Saw the sun rise

the sun of knowledge

with its presence

showed the way out from this

forest dense

of the world

Go to those sages 

they will get you rid

from the ages 

and ages of lifecycles

and will take you to the Self

and you will know

That is You!
