"Aham Brahma asmi"

Knowledge of the Self ripens into Love
For all
Oneness for all kind
Not just mankind
Still life and surging streams
Thus springs bliss
“These are mine
As I am theirs
I am the eternal spirit manifest all around
Just as every being all around”

Words born NOT of superlative
But of Oneness beyond Comprehension
Oneness of spirit
Eternal undivided One
A drop in the Ocean
Is as much ocean as is every other drop that surrounds
Know not myself from all around

A wave is a wave, as small, until it knows it is the ocean!

Great poem. I loved the post on "Fingers and Palm". True, each one of us born in this universe have a designated purpose howsoever bestowed or challenged we are.
