Aho Aham Namo Mahyam



"Aho aham namo mahyam
daksho nastiha matsamah,

asamsprasha sharirena
yena vishvam ciram dhrityam!"

"I am wonderful, I bown down to me!
There is no one as skillful as I,
holding up the universe since the beginning of time
without touching a thing!"

~Ashravakra Gita 2:13


The West would surely misinterpret this as egotism, not realizing the deep sacrifice of the Self, an unconditional surrender and total loss that upholds the cosmos with humble hollow emptiness. Only one who has become Nobody could sing these verses!

As the ego dissolves and we surrender to nothingness there is no east or west
All is one
