Upanishad XL - The Blacksnake

The blacksnake slithers through 

the new-mown grass,

traveling fast.

It lifts its head, like a skinny cobra,

looking around for predators;

finding none,

it moves swiftly on 

its secret way.


Nagna says:

The snake, too, is consciousness.

There is nothing else.
