Concentration, meditation, asceticism, pilgrimage

by Akha
(1600? - 1650?) Timeline

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

Concentration, meditation, asceticism, pilgrimage,
Devotion, action, and vows of austerity;
Enjoyments of various sense objects;
All of these depart once there is union with the Spirit.
Akha, all of the above are different shades of the Lord,
Who is indivisible always.
