Spanda Karika: A throb in consciousness to create, maintain and dissolve

Currently Playing: Spanda Karika Verse 19: All Waves Rise from the Same Spanda | Find Yourself by ABK

All waves rise from the same Spanda. Every day emotions arise. Anger, joy, sadness, fear. Thoughts keep moving, the mind keeps changing. But what is the source they arise from? It is Spanda, the universal pulse of consciousness. A wave appears separate, yet depends completely on the ocean and never leaves it. Like pictures on a screen, scenes come and go, but the screen remains untouched. For the realized one, these movements are no longer obstacles. Thoughts and emotions still arise, but he no longer loses the source. Anger may come, but the background is not disturbed. Earlier the identification was with the wave. Now it rests in the ocean. This is Spanda Karika Verse 19.
