7.1

In me, the shoreless ocean,

the ark of universe drifts here and there on the winds of its nature.

I am not impatient.


7.2

In me, the shoreless ocean,

let the waves of the universe rise and fall as they will.

I am neither enhanced nor diminished.


7.3

In me, the shoreless ocean,

the universe is imagined.

I am still and formless.

In this alone I abide.


7.4

The Self is not in objects,

nor are objects in the pure and infinite Self.

The Self is tranquil, free of attachment and desire.

In this alone I abide.


7.5

I am Awareness alone.

The world is passing show.

How can thoughts arise of acceptance or rejection?

And where?
