The Cost of Sat Chit Ananda

The Song of Samadhi 

Lo! The sun is not, nor the comely moon,

All light extinct; in the great void of space

Floats shadow-like the image-universe.


In the void of mind involute, there floats

The fleeting Universe, rises and floats,

Sinks again, ceaseless, in the current "I".

Slowly, slowly, the shadow-multitude


Entered the primal womb, and flowed ceaseless,

The only current, the "I am", "I am". 

Lo! 'Tis stopped, ev'n that current flows no more,

Void merged into void-beyond speech and mind

Whose heart understands, he verily does.

Swami Vivekananda
