I am the boundless ocean
From the Ashtavakra Gita (approx. fifth century B.C.):
“I am the boundless ocean
The wind that blows anywhere it wants to
Bears in my chest the vessel we call World
The World tosses from one side
to another
But I remain serene
I am the deep ocean
Where waves drive
themselves up
Where planets are shaken, up and down
But I remain immutable
I am the boundless ocean
From which all constellations came from
Beyond all forms
I exist. I am.”
