Book Description
'You are the mover and the movement.
You move even in your stillness
you move. And you are
the moved who is far away
the unmoved spark of intimacy
far inside you far away from us
and yet it is you alone whom we find
nearest to ourselves;
you are where the heart is
the bodies claim to be.'
All That Was And Is Bibhu Padhi's mystical collection of poems is based on the ancient Indian sacred texts the Upanishads. Each poem is a non-cerebral response on a single Upanishadic mantra. They are quiet like the mantras themselves trying to unravel and in turn define the Supreme and its relationship with the world and the individual or the jiva. Through these lyrical meditations everything is absorbed into a dreamlike consciousness.
