    132 PART III: WEDNESDAY
    3. Of what avail is knowing things other than the Self?
    And the Self being known, what other thing is there to know?
    That one light that shines as many selves,
    see this Self within as awareness’ lightning-flash;
    The play of grace; the ego’s death;
    the blossoming of bliss.
    (Refrain)

    4. For loosening karma’s bonds and ending births,—


    This path is easier than all other paths.
    Abide in stillness, without any stir of tongue, mind, or body.
    And behold the effulgence of the Self within;
    The experience of eternity; absence of all fear;
    The vast ocean of bliss.
    (Refrain)

    5. Annamalai the Self, the eye behind the eye of mind,


    which sees the eye and all the other senses,
    which knows the sky and other elements,
    the Being which contains, reveals, perceives the inner sky
    that shines within the Heart. When the mind free of thought
    turns inward, Annamalai appears as my own Self.
    True grace is needed; love is added. Bliss wells up.
    (Refrain)
