Attributeless Bliss

I am neither above, nor below, nor inside, nor outside, nor middle, nor across, nor before, nor behind; for I am indivisible and one by nature and am all-pervading like space.  I am therefore the secondless, uncontradictable, attributeless Bliss. I am neither white, nor black, nor red, nor yellow, nor bent, nor stout, nor short, nor tall, nor even formless; for I am of the nature of self-resplendent consciousness. I am therefore the secondless, uncontradictable, attributeless Bliss. There is neither teacher, nor science, nor pupil, nor teaching, nor you (the hearer), nor I (the speaker), nor this empirical universe; for I am the consciousness of the reality, which does not admit of differentiation.  I am therefore the secondless, uncontradictable, attributeless Bliss.
