"There is neither a sinner nor a virtuous one

by Akha
(1600? - 1650?) Timeline

English version by
Krishnaditya

Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist

17th Century

"There is neither a sinner nor a virtuous one."
One who understands this is a true saint.
The wheel of Time turns by its own nature;
And thus sponteneous is the process of creation, dissolution.
Knowing this, Akha, go and dissolve yourself;
And avoid the babble of repeated trips.
