Skin from Elixir by Dave Stringer & Joni Allen

Skin (Sutra 25)

Attend to the skin, an illusory boundary
Nothing inside is solid, nothing outside is solid
A person is a cloud, electrons gathered
We are particles, when we are happy

There is no inside, there is no outside
There is no other, no object to meditate upon

Enter that shimmering, pulsing, vastness
Discover that you are not separate
From anything here
From anything there

Attend to the mind, an illusory boundary
Nothing inside is solid, nothing outside is solid
Intelligence is a cloud, electrons gathered
We are particles, when we are happy

There is no inside, there is no outside
There is no other, no object to meditate upon
There is no future, there is no past
There is no present, and no time to meditate upon

deha-antare tvak-vibhaagam
bhittiobhootam vi-chintayet
na kinchit antare tasya
dhyaaayan na dhyeya-bhaaj bhavet

There is nothing that is not you.
There is nothing that is not you.

Attend to the heart, where is the boundary?
Nothing inside is solid, nothing outside is solid
Love is a cloud, electrons gathered
We are particles, when we are happy
