Abhanga 195The Nature of God

Union with God Necessary

English Translation · I.P. 195

THOUGH the idea of a second is dispelled, yet Hari remains undiminished: we need not search for his seat outside ourselviss. If you desire to know so much, know it by the mind within the mind; know it as the expert hunter knows the signs where game may be found. First, is the body a reality ? Are the correlatives of the body thp: nature op god facts ? It is a mere scarecrow: it is something that the thief takes for a sentinel. Tuka wakens you and cries, Do not be idly frightened ! Open the inner eye, you will find you are in himself.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
