Meditation, concentration know not I;
Foundations of thoughtlessness know not I;
Do not even know who is that I;
And pray I do to you, do not know you, how do I know I?
Methods of meditation, I strive to learn;
Various types of yoga, I try to learn;
But still know not, who is that I that learns;
And searching what is that I, what is it that learns?
This body shall go, coma may come and go;
But will this I go, who is that I that will never go?
Read and heard, this spirit is ‘I’;
But never felt me, how do I know this ‘I’?
Beyond thoughts, beyond mind is this ‘I’;
But cannot comprehend, my mind does not let it go.
Beyond thoughts, beyond mind, how do I go?
Salvation is beyond me, when I don’t know me.
Who is to free, who is it that is in bondage, I don’t know;
Who does not know, who is asking questions, do not know.
Read ‘I’ is the spirit, who is that spirit, do not know;
‘Jeevatma’ and ‘Soul’, but who is the soul do not know?
Experiencing is believing, but who experiences, do not know;
Knowledge paves, beyond knowledge what beholds do not know.
- Dr. Hira
