Thaththvamasi
He heard a soft noise from within
Is it the noise of someone getting up?
Who had slipped and fell on my desires?
The multimillionaire? The emperor?
The great poet? The greatest writer?
The great traveler,
who went around the earth?
The beauty queen?
The greatest hero?
Or was it the mighty ocean whispering?
Or the sky chanting?
Or the peaceful undertone of universe?
And then a voice resonated from nowhere
Realize it now,
It is not he,
Neither is it she.
It is not it.
But, it is that.
That single truth which encompasses all
The only reality
ThathThvamAsi, thaththvamasi,
Thaththvamasi***.
***Thaththvamasiis a quote from Indian Philosophy and is called a Mahavaakya and the mean is “It is you”.
