"We do not have a soul. Rather we are souls. Our soul is our innermost identity and synonymous with the most intimate level of "I" that we know to be the core of our personhood. Both God (Brahman) and soul (Atman) are of the nature of pure sentient consciousness. Thus, being spiritual, they both transcend matter itself, as well as all the limitations necessarily associated with matter."

Sri Dharma Deva Gosvami

Heart & Heart & Heart

Beat by beat by beat

One is all for all

And all is one for one

None from the above

None from the below

Nothing from beyond

We are everything

Neither time nor space

Point of no return

Womb of life and death

Source of it all

Under the same

Stars we were born

Poor, poor monkey

So afraid to go

Throw it all away

Body, mind and goal

You were made from nothing

You return so bright

Not what one expects

Not a promised sight

It is only darkness

If you search for light

No eyes to see

No ears to hear

No body to respond

Nothing to fear

All is one point

In the endless whole

All is the dark

That blinds the soul

I was afraid - The incomprehensible sight

Suddenly there was no I

A small lamp - Consumed by universal light

So lost and so found

Black to the blind

For all eternity connected - In just one second

An union with Brahman

And still it craves - For one more bite, one more taste

Before I became I again

Torn apart, rejected away
