Saint

"The chief characteristic of a sant is that he is always intent in looking at the vision of God, whatever may be his condition or activity while he is in society. He becomes as fearless as Brahman and devoid of blemishes like anger, jealousy, sensuous desires and so on."
-Sri Samartha Ramdas, Dasbodh

Who are you?

WHO ARE YOU?

“You are…

beyond the body-mind and personality,
beyond all the experience and the experiencer thereof,
beyond the world and its perceiver,
beyond existence and its absence,
beyond all assertions and denials.
Be still and awaken to the realization of who you are.
In this realization of no separate self,
the supreme Reality which you are shines unobscured
in all things, as all things, and beyond all things.
Having returned to the formless source
and transcended all separateness,
do not stop or cling even to this source,
but go beyond to the supreme realization
which transcends all dualities,
yet does not deny even a speck of dust.
The enlightened sage abides,
as the eternal witness,
wholly unconcerned, yet intimately engaged,
resting beyond all definitions,
neither clinging to transcendent freedom,
nor entangled by the dualistic world
therefore, one with all life.
Living in the perfect trust of supreme realization,
the enlightened sage has nothing to gain or lose
and naturally manifests love, wisdom, and compassion
without any personal sense of being the doer of deeds.
Having abandoned all concepts and ideas,
the enlightened sage lives as ever-present consciousness,
manifested and manifesting in the world of time and space
that which is eternal, ever new, and whole.
In this unobscured realization,
supreme Reality shines consciously
in all things, as all things, and beyond all things.
Shining unobscured, it penetrates the entire universe.
Penetrating the entire universe,
it knows itself as Self.”
