Knowledge Of The Self

Into a blind darkness, go

Those dedicated to not knowing

Into deeper darkness go

Those content with knowing

Without joy is the name of these worlds

Enveloped in blind darkness

Those without knowledge or reason, go

At the outset to them

If he knew himself, if man could say

"This is I"

By which desire, for which goal

Would his body be inflamed?

He who has found himself, go

And whom the being, buried in the depths

Of this depth, has awakened, go

He is all-active

He is the author of all, go

For him, the world, he is himself

The world, go

Into a blind darkness, go

Here as well, we must know this

If not, ignorance, the great predition

Those knowing this become immortal, go

The others in misfortune bury themselves

And one has once recognized the self

This god suddenly, this master of past and future

One turns way no more, go, go

That from which the yer unwinds, go

In rounds of days, go

The gods confess it, light of lights

And to mortal life, go

That foundation of five and five rings

That on which space reposes, go

It is that I think of as the self

I who know the sacred word

I without death, immortal, go, go

Breath of breath, go

Breath of breath, and sight of sight

Hearing of hearing, thought of thought

Those who know it have discerned the world

Ancient, original, go

It must be perceived by thought

Nothing here exists separately

He who sees things as separated

Goes from death to death

Into a blind darkness, go

Those dedicated not knowing

Into deeper darkness, go

Those content with knowing

Must be perceived in its unity, go

That, the immense that

The stable beyond friction

Traversing space, go

Go, the self without birth

The great, the stable, into the darkness, go

When the sage has recognized it

Let him obtain its knowledge, Brahman

Let him not be dispersed by numerous words

For that, is the weakening of the word

Go

Go

Go
