Avoid "I," beyond body be

by Akha
(1600? - 1650?) Timeline

English version by
Krishnaditya
Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist
17th Century

Avoid "I," beyond body be,
Swim in the Lord's flowing stream.
One who has lost "I" and "me,"
Mingles easy in His sea.
Akha, have insight this way,
Space is in the center every which way.
