Advaita

I am the tallest peak,
That the clouds drench.
Beneath the oceans,
I am the deepest trench.

I am the water,
Filling the verdant fields.
Over the desert,
I am the land with no yield.

I am the fighting flame,
against a stormy night.
Of the burning sun,
I am the might.

I am the endless still space,
Where light has no wing.
Of the millions in a grain,
I am the unsteady string.

I am the indivisible,
In all things tiny and tall¹.
Across infinite lives,
I am the conscious that ties all².

I am only a void,
To an uninformed thought.
For the exalted,
I am the seeker and the Sought³.

¹ Brahman – the indivisible changeless reality underneath all things physical that are in a constant process of change

² Atman – the core consciousness experienced in deep meditation when withdrawn from the body and mind

³ तत्त त्वम असि (“Thou art that”) originally appears in the Chandogya Upanishad. It implies Atman and Brahman are one and the same. They are Advaita (“not two”).
