undivided

free of mind 

the man of knowledge does not 

return to the world that brings hunger

and seeking 

his mind is eternally at rest 

within the non-dual

this light satiates the soul

immediately

and brings peace to the being

at once

free of pride, sloth and mental

games 

the man of knowledge 

holds nothing within

he rests forever in light 

and knows not anything other 

than brahman

the one and all

he is forever in heart 

seeing nothing but this 

wondrous light 

yet behaving as if completely

ordinary

calm in mind 

without turbulent waves of thought 

the man of knowledge has no cross

to bear 

or image to uphold 

what is there to uphold or show 

when all is undivided and the same

essence? 

what is there to be? 

or to become? 

or to cover?

or to bring forward?

kneeling with hands held to the heavens

wandering in search of fresh water 

looking for pleasure always 

the man of knowledge has nothing to 

do with these things as his eyes 

see only the real 

unsoiled by other 

unburdened by hope 

of something better 

or fear of something worse 

these are only shadows created by mind 

not the real ever
