Summary of the Song
This song describes the non-dual (advaitic) experience.
- Dance as I am the boundless indivisible Oneness, the one who is unattached, inseparable Absolute Reality.
- By identifying this Stillness with names and forms, I used to look at this world as multiplicity of objects. Then, I settled as THAT Stillness – the Supreme Consciousness devoid of those identifications.
- All is inclusive in this Supreme Consciousness, so there is nothing other than me.
- It is an eternally joyful auspicious state, where it escorts and consummates in this attribute free (stillness) bliss. Bereft of clinging to the name and form (ego), the supreme bliss overwhelms.
- By the means of scrutiny (self-enquiry), intoxication caused by pride and attachment has been uprooted.
- This dancing while abiding as the stillness is an ecstatic dance.
- Without I (ego) or others, I am ‘THAT’ boundless shape alone.
- Whatever may come, without languish, permanently abide in the Self.
- This Awakened sleep is a peaceful ecstatic dance.
