II i. The wonder of you! (2.29-2.30)

the play of the unchanging amidst the change
the silence amidst the thoughts
the empty space amidst the dance of the elements
Aho! how amazing?!
some envision, some tell,
Oh What a wonder
beyond ignorance
beyond knowledge
beyond words
beyond silence
beyond events
beyond emotions
beyond the moments
pleasant and unpleasant
beyond past and beyond the future
Oh what an amazing phenomenon
beyond comprehension
YOU are?!
the unmoving axis
around which change revolves !!!
The eternal energy fountain
of dynamic life
from which the body, the mind emerges
and into which they dissolve!
amazing to ponder and yet beyond grasp!

And not just you
in every wave
the same immortal ocean roars
So drop the resistance
and wake up the wonder-source!

Mahatma Gandhi's verse by verse:

29. One looks upon This as a marvel; another speaks of This as such; another hears thereof as a marvel; yet having heard This none truly knows This.

30. This embodied one in the body of every being is ever beyond all harm, O Bharata; thou shouldst not, therefore, grieve for any one.
