Steady Wisdom: 108 Verses On Changing My Thinking
DAY 83
I have no attributes. I am action-less, eternal, ever-free and indestructible. I am not the body which is unreal.
-Aparokshanubhuti V.27
Meditation
This much is obvious: The body possesses attributes such as tallness, shortness, thinness, fatness etc.; the body performs action; the body is subject to beginning and end, to creation (birth) and destruction (death).
This much is also obvious: Because the body is an ever-changing collection of attributes that has a beginning and end, it is unreal; I am reality itself so I cannot be the body; further, I am the knower of the unreal body so for this reason too, I cannot be the body.
My firm conviction is: Because I am not the body, I am not bound by it; I am not defined or limited by its attributes; I perform no action whatsoever; I have no beginning, no end and I cannot be changed. OM.
