Coming thus
He takes hold of my body, life and possessions
In his own hands
And following the adhava path *[1]
He points out:
"You are not the five senses.
You are not the five elements.
You are not the several organs.
You are not the gunas
Nor are you this body
And the knowledge and ignorance
That pertain to it.
You partake the nature of that around you.
You are unto the crystal
That reflects whatever is near to it.
You are the chit
That awaits its bonds to sunder -
And I am the Teacher who imparts the wisdom
Appropriate to your ripeness."
