Gita Bhusana 3.17 "The human who is attracted to the atma, satisfied in the atma, and completely please with atma alone because of its qualities, has no need of performing prescribed duties for seeing the atma."
SB 3.25.17 "At that time the soul can see himself to be transcendental to material existence and always self-effulgent, never fragmented, although very minute in size"
SB 3.27.10 "Thus realizing freedom from false ego, one should see his own self just as he sees the sun in the sky."
SB 3.27.19 "Hence even though he is the passive
performer of all activities, how can there be freedom for the soul as long as
material nature acts on him and binds him?"
When I look at the horizon,
and far and deep
into the distant sky,
behind the inflamed clouds
while the sun sets down,
I sense this cage around
and I want to fly - free,
I want to stretch my hand and touch
the infinite
there outside,
yet knowing at the same time
to be also within me.
But I cannot fully
grasp what it is,
though I know it arises from the real me,
the one who sees,
who owns the desire to be free,
content and luminous
in the easiness of just being,
weightless, unburdened,
as I once felt in a dream,
walking in waters of joy ~
that it is the infinitesimal divine me.
I know,
it is causing this existence,
is rooted in the soul, the eternal me,
but this truth I can rarely perceive
as it is caged
in a netted mentality,
in ego-patterned thoughts,
in the intrinsic dualities
entangling this life,
but there,
somewhere,
behind,
it is I, the Self, confined.
Only when released
from illusory beliefs,
this conscious free being
will be able to see,
what I now believe to be the self,
as alien to me,
as a hat
blown off by the wind is
to
the onlooking bare head. (1)
The
flock of thoughts
into
the blueness, scatters,
and
a prayer goes up to the Lord,
with
my heart I ask
to
be seen by Him,
that
He removes the bars
of
the false "me",
to
have only one bond
with
Him,
of
love.

as he sees the sun in the sky."
