Essentially undefined - Part 1

You are not defined
by your thoughts
How could you be?
Thoughts come and go
and you remain
having registered
their passage!

You are not defined
by thoughts
not yours
or anybody else's

You are not defined
by your feelings
How could you be?
Feelings come and go
and you remain
having registered
their passage!

You are not defined
by feelings
not yours
or anybody else's

You are not defined
by your sensations
How could you be?
Sensations come and go
and you remain
having registered
their passage

You are not defined
by sensations
not yours
or anybody else's

You are not defined
by your body
How could you be?
Your body changes
throughout your life
and you remain
having registered
all the changes

You are not defined
by body
not yours
or anybody else's

So you
who are not defined
by thoughts
by feelings
by sensations
by body
what are you?

Check and see
if you are not
the vast everpresent space
in which
all experience arises
all thoughts arise
all feelings arise
all sensations arise
all bodies arise
everything arises
and comes to rest

Check and see
if you are not
the unmoving center
which holds
all movement

Essentially
undefined!
Unbounded!
Undivided!
Free!
