This dance goes on while abiding as the Stillness or This Awakened sleep is a peaceful ecstatic dance

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.
