" "
Like the sun I brighten each atom's cheek;
I cannot be pinpointed: I am too manifest.

but there is only the Sea.

(p. 77)

"If You are Everything
then who are all these people?
And if I am nothing
what's all this noise about?
You are Totality,
everything is You. Agreed.
Then that which is "other-than-You"-
what is it?
Oh, indeed I know:
Nothing exists but You
