I am just pure, free existence

I have no form at any point of time, nor am I formless. Sri Dattatreya talks about the self in all as the God who transcends form. I do not have a beginning, a middle time when I exist and an end time when I will cease to be. How can I tell my dear friend that I am strong or weak when none of these qualities are present?   My form is of the self itself. It is free of any movement and free of all diseases.

How can I say that I have death or deathlessness, or that I have poison and am free of poison too? None of these things are born out of me. How can I talk then of purity of myself or impurity? I am pure awareness that is always free without any covering and which knows no disease.

I know no dream or waking. I am not in any state of yoga or a yogic posture and lock. I am neither day nor night at any point of time. How then can I speak of a state beyond the waking, dream and deep sleep or how can I say too that I am not that state of intense and pure awareness alone? My form is the original relaxed state in which truth just stands without any stretch or constriction. I am not bound by anything and know no modifications and changes too.

Know that I am free of being all and also the things that are present in this entirety that is the universe. I neither suffer from illusion, nor am I free of any illusions. When I am none of all these even, then how can I be confined to activities such as Sandhya Vandana or ritualistic practices to worship the joining periods of a day? I am in the one who worships, in the one that is worshipped and in the worshipping too. I am not outside of that separately. My form is of the self which is free of any discomfort or uneasiness and liberated in its existence.

Know me as the one who is endowed with all the powers that is needed to keep the mind in a state of deep contemplation. Know me as the one who is the ideal and the goal, and at the same time, different from any ideals or goals. I am not union nor disunion. I am the liberated true self which is free of any deformities.

I am neither the idiot nor the learned pundit. I am neither silence nor speech and anything that may hide the experience of silence. When I am neither speech nor silence, how can I say that I am argumentative deduction nor counter-arguments? I am just the pure, free existence that is free of all disorders and ill health.
