- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Love's conqueror is he
- Whom love conquers.
- Apply yourself, hand and foot,
- To the search;
- But when you reach the sea,
- Stop talking of the stream.
- When he admits you to his presence
- Ask from him nothing other than himself.
- When he has chosen you for a friend,
- You have seen all that there is to see.
- There's no duality in the world of love:
- What's all this talk of 'you' and 'me'?
- How can you fill a cup that's full already?
- Bring all of yourself to his door:
- Bring only a part,
- And you've brought nothing at all.
- It's your own self
- Defining faith and unbelief:
- Inevitably it colors your perception.
- Eternity knows nothing
- Of belief or unbelief;
- For a pure nature
- There is no such thing.
- And if, my friend, you ask me the way,
- I'll tell you plainly, it is this:
- To turn your face toward the world of life,
- And turn your back on rank and reputation;
- And, spurning outward prosperity, to bend
- Your back double in his service;
- To part company with those who deal in words,
- And take your place in the presence of the wordless.
- The way is not far
- From you to the friend:
- You yourself are that way:
- So set out along it.
- You who know nothing of the life
- That comes from the juice of the grape,
- How long will you remain intoxicated
- By the outward form of the grape?
- Why do you lie that you are drunk?
- How can you go forward?
- There is no place to go;
- How will you leap?
- You have no foot.
