Neither Self nor Other (poem)

In the face of reality’s illumination
There is neither self nor other,
No duality, no division-void of identity
And yet neither void
Nor not void,
There’s no perceiver at all.
Eh Ma! Until a mountain yogi
Has realized well the meaning of this,
He should not disparage cause and result!

-Drinking the Mountain Stream: Songs of Tibet’s Beloved Saint, Milarepa
