I exist without the cosmic shadow,But it could not live bereft of me;As the sea exists without the waves,But they breathe not without the sea.Dreams, wakings, states of deep turiya sleep,Present, past, future, no more for me,But the ever-present, all-flowing, I, I everywhere.Consciously enjoyable,Beyond the imagination of all expectancy,Is this, my samadhi state.
