Brief introduction

Self-knowledge stands for our true nature, who we are at the deepest level. It is a theme taken from the Advaita Vedanta. Our true nature is beyond words. It is an experience, it has the following qualities: Unconditional Love, Deep Peace, Serenity, Detachment, and Compassion towards all life forms. In Self-knowledge we realise that we are one with Consciousness, we are Consciousness.

(Inspired by Kabir)

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

Living in this awareness, harvesting the benefit of the inner relationship I have with you.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

I firmly remember you in the finite world of forms my work is this to see duality and not get lost in dualism. The earth is my witness. Incessantly, I say your name and take it as a reward when I gently feel that my heart is filled by you.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

Consciousness at rest and Consciousness in motion are the pillars on which this life, which I call my own, is sustained. In this way, I work with attention and detachment remembering your presence.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

I have recognised myself in the non-dual knowledge now I know the impossible is possible. I leave the world as it is and occupy myself with being conscious.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

I understand my true identity infinite and eternal my wealth that I have gained and attained is the state of deep and perfect peace.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

I live in this awareness and reap the benefit of the inner relationship I have with you.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

In vain, the search for those who yearns for more than the present moment. All that Is, is now in you, in me, and in the world rivers are rivers, mountains are mountains, and you are who you are.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

The constant remembrance of my true nature clears and frees my mind. A free mind can develop The Deepest Understanding Transforming the illusion of separation that enslaved my being. Conscious of pure subjectivity Deep and perfect peace emanates spontaneously and without force, like the fountain in the mountain. I stop looking outside that can only be found inside. I have returned home.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

The search is over. No longer depending on the concept I am a person I have realised that I am eternal and infinite as Pure Consciousness free from fear and suffering I see with all clarity that I am Consciousness.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

I live in this awareness and harvest the benefit of the inner relationship I have with you.

Consciousness, I am you, self-aware

Dr. Preeti Singh writes a tender message for Gabriella

This is the first article for Dancing Elephant Press, and I hope many more will come. From the beginning, I had a good impression, very human. The introduction video by Dr. Gabriella Korosi touched my heart and it was clear that’s a place to be. As an artist, I appreciate the special care for poems and photography.
