In the Beginning

“At first was neither Being nor Nonbeing.
There was not air nor yet sky beyond.
What covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping?
Was Water there, unfathomable and deep?
There was no death then, nor yet deathlessness;
of night or day, there was not any sign.
The One breathed without breath by its own impulse.
Other than that, there was nothing at all.
Darkness was there, all wrapped around by darkness, and all was Water indiscriminate,

Then that which was hidden by Void, that One, emerging,
stirring, through the power of Love, came to be.
In the beginning, Desire arose, which was the primal seed born of Mind.
The Sages, searching in their hearts with wisdom,
discovered that Being is kin to Non-being.
They have stretched a cord across the void
and know what was above and what below.
Seminal powers made fertile mighty forces,
Below was strength and above it , impulse.
Who really knows? Who can presume to tell it?
Whence was it born? Whence issued this creation?
Even the Gods came after its emergence.
Then who can tell from whence it came to be?

Whence this creation had its origin,
the One, whether He fashioned it or whether it formed itself,
the Creator, who surveys it all from highest heaven,
He knows — or maybe even He does not know!” 

Nasadiya Sukta, Rig Veda.


Before Time began, in the still, silent void, something stirred – consciousness becoming aware of itself in limitless delight, formless perfection expressing itself in cascading waves of bliss.

This ecstatic dance is the source of all becoming, all forms, all life, weaving worlds without measure across the vastness to celebrate the infinite wonder and the glory of it all.

This dance never ceases.

Like breath, like a heart-beat, it pulses forever as the innermost core of every separate life-form, yet always remains the pristine, unchanging whole, ever joyous, ever compassionate, ever peaceful.

Beyond all words and thought, beyond knowing and unknowing, beyond all measure or description, this is the radiant Divine, the shining Self, the One.

This is who you really are.
