The Sea Inside
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We know
Five Great Oceans;
But,
Never think;
They are the One!
The Same!
It is the Core;
This Oneness Pure;
The Sure;
The Indian Thought;
Great Intuit ever.
It is the definite Infinite;
The Sea fathomless;
Thy Glory;
The Illuminant.
The dawn and dusk;
The Day, the Night;
The Twilight;
All thy Sight;
The Significant.
Me the breath;
The Wink;
From Thee;
And how many;
To be!
Proclaimed the Rishi:
'Tat twa masi'
'Prajnaanam Brahma'_
The Mahaavaakyas-
The Great contemplations.
