The Self Realization

Who am I? This birth whence all? What's my real being? What binds me? Should I retain them? Or leave them all? Think this deep, calmly, you shall realiseAll holy books proclaim

Believe the word of the soul-realised, The soul is yours, save it, save it, Love all equal heart Universal love engraved in heart This golden gift, dear, never forget. 5

The path of the great, unattached, Quitting the love of this soul-cage, Engulfed in one's own soul, (The path of the great, unattached.) Brings all births to an end.
