TRANSLATION:
Our good Guide!
In the revelation of the divine Awareness,
We have personally experienced
by your compassion,
There is neither We who are speaking,
nor you,
Nor this treatise on which has been
heaped such praise,
No individual souls affected by bondage,
no Lord,
And none of the differentiated earth or
other worlds.
Revered Guru! All is the Supreme Brahmam
Of the undivided nature and nothing apart.
COMMENTARY:
O compassionate Lord! Gurudeva! In this great state, which We have attained by your
compassion, Our individual mind is dead and has become Cosmic. We cannot see you and
Us as separate entities in the absence of perception of names and forms. There is no dual state as Guru and disciple. Until now, you had taught Us and We had listened to your teaching; now all these have disappeared. Until now, you had taught Us with a non-dual text; now that treatise also has disappeared. The Jivatva, the sheath of ignorance, which was a bondage created by Our thought, has disappeared. The Lord, who wields the Maya,is not visible anymore! The bound Jiva, also, has disappeared! Jiva-s, the product of Maya, who lose themselves in the illusory play and suffer the cycle of birth and death, also have disappeared. The world stage, where the play of these activities is enacted, also has vanished.
O Gurudeva! Someone has stolen away the world, plunging the Jiva-s in delusion
and infatuation, which had its existence here until a moment ago. Perhaps, the world has
hidden itself or is veiled by something else. What a strange thing! What a wonder!
What has happened to the world?
What has happened to the Jiva-s?
What has happened to the Trinity?
What has happened to Us, this body?
What has happened to you, the gross body??
All the names and forms have disappeared. These names and forms, appearing due to Our unawareness, had trapped Us. The illusive mind is now dissolved in the Maya and disappeared, so also the imagination. The names and forms do not exist at all! All these are the forms of Our Chitta only. Our own nature, Chit alias Atma has become Chitta, giving rise to names and forms. Since We exist as We, non-dual Brahmam, the Undivided Essence, there is no world of names and forms!
YOU ARE EVERYTHING!
