No Matter

Found in the book 'Take Heart, Seeker'
No Matter

'No Matter' explores the essence of self-awareness, finding reflections of the self in every sense and sensation. Each line points toward the recognition: that behind every experience lies the steady, illuminating presence of the Awareness.

No matter where I look I see
reflections looking back at me

No matter what I reach to touch
I find myself and feel as much

No matter what my ears might hear
in me those sounds all appear

No matter what tastes may delight
all are revealed by my light

No matter what this nose may smell
sweet or pungent, to me it tells

No matter what thoughts rise and fall
I watch them pass, one and all

Who am I that knows these things?
Know thyself, O King of Kings!
