Consciousness, I Am You, Self-Aware
This text is a poem, an affirmation, a reminder, a friend, and a workshop to deepen the experience of self-knowledge
Brief introduction
Self-knowledge stands for our true nature, who we are at the deepest level. It is a theme taken from the Advaita Vedanta.
Our true nature is beyond words. It is an experience, it has the following qualities: Unconditional Love, Deep Peace, Serenity, Detachment, and Compassion towards all life forms.
In Self-knowledge we realise that we are one with Consciousness, we are Consciousness.
(Inspired by Kabir)
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
Living in this awareness, harvesting the benefit of the inner relationship I have with you.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
I firmly remember you
in the finite world of forms
my work is this
to see duality and not get lost in dualism.
The earth is my witness.
Incessantly, I say your name
and take it as a reward
when I gently feel that my heart is filled by you.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
Consciousness at rest and Consciousness in motion
are the pillars on which this life, which I call my own, is sustained.
In this way, I work with attention and detachment
remembering your presence.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
I have recognised myself in the non-dual knowledge
now I know
the impossible is possible.
I leave the world as it is
and occupy myself with being conscious.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
I understand my true identity
infinite and eternal
my wealth that I have gained and attained
is the state of deep and perfect peace.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
I live in this awareness and reap the benefit of the inner relationship I have with you.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
In vain, the search for those
who yearns for more than the present moment.
All that Is, is now
in you, in me, and in the world
rivers are rivers, mountains are mountains,
and you are who you are.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
The constant remembrance of my true nature
clears and frees my mind.
A free mind can develop The Deepest Understanding
Transforming the illusion of separation that enslaved my being.
Conscious of pure subjectivity
Deep and perfect peace emanates spontaneously and without force,
like the fountain in the mountain.
I stop looking outside that can only be found inside.
I have returned home.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
The search is over.
No longer depending on the concept I am a person
I have realised that I am eternal and infinite
as Pure Consciousness
free from fear and suffering
I see with all clarity
that I am Consciousness.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
I live in this awareness and harvest the benefit of the inner relationship I have with you.
Consciousness, I am you, self-aware
