Numero Uno (Poem)

यदूर्ध्वमस्ति तदेव अधः
यद्बहिः तदेवान्तरे ।
अन्तर्बहिरभिन्नात्मा
नन्दति शिवस्वरूपेण  ॥

अर्थ :
जो ऊपर है,  वही नीचे भी है,
(और मध्य में भी)
जो बाहर (चारों ओर, हर ओर) है,
वही भीतर भी अवस्थित है।
जो भीतर-बाहर के भेद से रहित,
(हमारी वह यथार्थ) आत्मा,
अपने शिव स्वरूप में (नित्य)
आनन्द से युक्त है ।

What is above,
So is below,
What is away,
So is within,
What is flower,
So is tree,
What is then,
So is now.

Meaning :
What is above, the same is below, What is outside surrounding, is the same that is inside,The same one, devoid of distinction of the inner and the outer plays ever in our being as śiva.

Commentary :

But who, whosoever is convinced of this truth? Who knows beyond doubt that Now and Then is the same Reality? Is the space between this assumed Now and (the assumed) Then not the imaginary cocoon, every-one without exception finds oneself, ever captured into? If this space could be somehow lost, Truth of the being is at once revealed.
