Enlightenment Poem by Rajesh Thankappan

N.B. According to the Advaita school of Hindu philosophy, every soul is a God particle. The universe has no existence separate from Brahman. The experiencing self (jīva) and the transcendental self of the Universe (ātman) are in reality identical (both are Brahman) , though the individual self seems different as space within a container seems different from space as such. Knowledge of Brahman removes these errors and causes liberation from the cycle of transmigration and worldly bondage. Various individuals' near-death experiences have steered me towards believing in the Advaita school of philosophy and the concept of collective universal consciousness as God.
