c6.s2.76

I am pure consciousness, the witness of all!
I am free from the thought of “I” and “mine”!
I have no lord!
The witness is different; he is untouched
by the qualities of things witnessed.
Like a lamp, the unchanging and impartial man
is not touched by the duties of home.³⁸
Let this insentient body
wallow in water or on land.
By its qualities I am not touched,
as space by the qualities of a pot.³⁹
I do not act, I do not change.
I have no parts, I have no form.
I am eternal, I have no thought.
I am unique, I have no support.
All are myself and I am all!
I am unique and I transcend all!
I am my own eternal bliss,
pure undivided consciousness!
Seeing me alone everywhere,
knowing myself to be unique,
[*27*] Enjoying the bliss of myself,
I become free from every thought.
Walking, standing, or sitting down,
sleeping, or doing anything else,
Let a wise sage live as he likes,
ever delighting in himself.
