The Kingdom Within

Light everywhere meets light
                              For everything is found In the Self
                              and the Self in everything
No longer surrounded by the universe
The Self is every atom
And every galaxy
Something separate is no more
Upon ‘emerging on the other side’
                              of the awakening
The world is no longer called a world
All is the Self
Everything that one was before
                               is annihilated
The end of all things
To the beginning of all things
                              One disappears into the Self
And is no longer in relation
                               to anything else
For there is nothing else
                               but the Self
Here alone is freedom
There is nothing to cause limitation
                               It is the final mystery 
Where words
                               of the dualistic illusion
Are not adequate
One becomes the ultimate mystery
                              of creation
Self and Not-Self in unchanging unity
But the Absolute does not create
It Is eternal creation
Nor does it desire the appearances of what is
Reject or fear them
All is but One’s True Self
With nothing to desire outside Reality
Not even heaven to seek
For the awakened is already the Eternal
Absolute bliss is wherever One is
It is as though a light from within
                                illuminates all
Even a grain of dust has a sublime message
As for immortality, 
The Absolute is a beginning
                                that never was
Nor will there ever be an end
Rich beyond imagination,
                                 the Knower is left silent
Because its simplicity
                                 is too great to express
But the Self-Realized One knows
                                what Truth
                                and the real Reality is
For One becomes the eternal light to know the eternal light
The Kingdom within has been found
