"in the beginning"

Recommended Posts

From  khandogya, Section 6 Chapter II — Brahman: the Cause of the Universe

 

1. "In the beginning, my dear, this universe was Being (Sat) alone, one only without a second. Some say that in the beginning this was non—being (asat) alone, one only without a second; and from that non—being, being was born."

 

2. Aruni said: "But how, indeed, could it be thus, my dear? How could Being be born from non—being? No, my dear, it was Being alone that existed in the beginning, one only without a second..."

 

(simple, so simple, no tricks to solve)

These are lyrics from my new song (which I've been working on for the past year or so ;))

 

 

Nasadiya

 

Verse 1:

 

Before there was A before

or there was AN after

Nothing did not exist then

Nor did something either

 

Words can’t des-cribe 

such a state

the feeble mind 

can’t com-pre-hend

that which animates all creation

 

 

Chorus

————

Nasadiya…

The game of dark-ness and light

Nasadiya…

They are two sides of the same coin you’ll find

Nasadiya…

Yang and Yin, Day and Night

Nasadiya…

ride on the waves of the cosmic mind.

 

Verse 2:

 

the timeless one breathed breathlessly

the soundless sounds beat all around

the lightless light shone blazingly

the waves born from the eternal fount.

 

 

With the ripples of the 

wakeful mind

ride the roots of things 

of endless kind

 

we can’t see them

we are somewhat blind

to the presence of

the cosmic mind

 

Chorus

————

Nasadiya…

Twists and turns of the restless kind

Nasadiya…

Look within and you’ll be sure to find

Nasadiya…

there’s no forward nor behind

Nasadiya…

Close encounters of the eternal kind
