Let it be whatever is in the book;

by Akha
(1600? - 1650?) Timeline

English version by
Krishnaditya

Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist

17th Century

Let it be whatever is in the book;
What's a ravine to one who can swim accross?
You just die the death of the self,
Then debt-credit will stay behind.
Akha, the self's warp is gone;
Now with what woof will it get woven?
