Far Beyond Name and Form

"Who sows must reap," they say, 
             "and cause must bring
The sure effect; good, good; bad, bad; 
           and none Escape the law. 
        But whoso wears a form
        Must wear the chain." 
        
      Too true; but far beyond
  Both name and form is Atman, ever free.
  Know thou art That, Sannyasin bold! 
            Say --  "Om Tat Sat, Om! " 

                     - Swami Vivekananda, 
                       ‘The Song of The Sannyasin’, 
                        Composed at the Thousand Island Park, NY,
                         (July, 1895)
