Love, Nonduality 13

*

The world is made of definitions—

invoking one reality, indivisible, with nondualty for all.

*

Neither the outer, inner, thinker, doer,

nor even lover, be.

*

But love is the empress of duality.

Love is the one in the land of two.

*

Love doesn’t own its own doing.

Love doesn’t think before love does.

*

There is no 'in love' and there is no 'out of love'.

There’s only whole love.

*

Yes, there is no love in nonduality,

but there’s nonduality in love.

*










footnotes

*

shankara called this world of definitions, namarupa, name-forms;

between namarupa and brahman is maya.

*

some call maya 'unevolved namarupa'; 

that's fine by maya.

*

advaita talks about the five sheaths 'covering' atman;

i shall be calling them the five great superimpositions.

*

they say the inner, the outer, and the thinker dies, while the doer transmigrates.

but the lover neither dies nor transmigrates.

*

LOVE IS REAL MAYA

yes, between nonduality and duality is maya.

*

from pov duality, maya is the goddess of paradox;

but from pov nonduality, maya is love.

*
