2.14<br />
I am wonderful indeed--<br />
beyond adoration.<br />
I am everything thought or spoken,<br />
and have nothing.<br />
2.15<br />
In Reality,<br />
knowledge, the knower, and the knowable<br />
do not exist.<br />
I am the transparent Self<br />
in which through ignorance<br />
they appear.<br />
2.16<br />
Looking at One and seeing many<br />
is the cause of all misery.<br />
The only cure is to realize<br />
what is seen is not there.<br />
I am One—aware, blissful, immaculate.<br />
2.17<br />
I am unbounded Awareness.<br />
Only in imagination do I have limits.<br />
Reflecting on this,<br />
I abide in the Absolute.<br />
2.18<br />
I am neither free nor bound.<br />
The illusion of such things<br />
has fallen into disbelief.<br />
Though I contain creation,<br />
it has no substance.<br />
2.19<br />
Having seen for certain<br />
that this universe and body<br />
is without form or substance,<br />
I am revealed as Awareness alone.<br />
Imagination has no place here.
