It is a basic proposition for the Hindu
That only
The self
The Godhead
Is real

[Chorus]
Only
The self
The Godhead
Is real
Only
The self
The Godhead
Is real

There is nothing other than the God head
The God head is real
There is nothing other than the God head
The God head is real

The appearance
The feeling that there are other things than the Godhead
Is called
Maya
Is called
Maya

We ordinarily translate that word “illusion”
But you must be careful about the word illusion
Illusion is related to the Latin
“Lude”
And that means play
And this is why the analogy of the world is dramatic
It’s a play
In the sense of a stage play
Now
When you go to the theater
You know what you're going to see
Is not for real
But the actor
And you will hope that he will be good at it
Is going to try and persuade you that it's for real
So that he will so move you
That you are crying
Or sitting
In anxiety upon the edge of your chair
So, the audience is almost
Swayed and taken in

Now what about if this would happen with the very best actor of all
The great actor
The audience will of course be completely taken in
But in this case of course
The actor the audience are the same
The self
The self
The Godhead
Is real

[Chorus]
Only
The self
The Godhead
Is real
Only
The self
The Godhead
Is real

There is nothing other than the Godhead
The Godhead is real
There is nothing other than the Godhead
The Godhead is real

[Chorus]
Only
The self
The Godhead
Is real
Only
The self
The Godhead
Is real
