Know Thyself

I am the knowledge, I am the knower,

 I am the abode, I am the wanderer;

 I am the seeker, I am the ‘sought’,

 I am the quencher, I am the drought;

 I am the beginning, I am the end,

 I am the castle, I am the sand;

 I am the dust, I am the seed,

 I am the abandoned, I am the greed.

It’s me, who is the silence, 

 And it’s me who is the blast;

 It starts with my first desire,

 And it would end with my last;

 And I will rise again and again,

 In this chaos, in this mundane;

 For I am the no beginning, I am the no end.

I am the path I am the goal,

 I am the narrative, I am the role;

 Where ever I see I find only me,

 Even in the darkest time

When my shadow abandons me,

 That time too I find only me

 Only me, only me, just ‘I AM’;

 I can be happy, I can be sad,

 I can be conscious, I can be mad;

 It’s only me, only me, just ‘I AM’.
