- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- For the wise man
- Evil and good
- Are both exceeding good.
- No evil ever comes from God;
- Whenever you think to see
- Evil proceeding from him,
- You were better to look on it
- As good.
- I'm afraid that on the way of faith,
- You are like a squinter seeing double,
- Or a fool quarreling with the shape of a camel.
- If he gives you poison, deem it honey;
- And if he shows you anger, deem it mercy.
- Be contented with your lot;
- But if you have any complaints,
- Go and take them to the cadi
- And obtain satisfaction from him --
- That's how the fool's mind works!
- Whatever befalls you,
- Misfortune or fortune,
- Is unalloyed blessing;
- The attendant evil
- A fleeing shadow.
- 'Good' and 'evil' have no meaning
- In the world of the word:
- They are mere names, coined
- In the world of 'me' and 'you'.
- Your life is just a morsel in his mouth;
- His feast is both a wedding and a wake.
- Why should darkness grieve the heart?
- -- For night is pregnant with new day.
- You say you've unrolled the carpet of time,
- Step then beyond life itself and reason,
- Till you arrive at God's command.
- You cannot see anything, being blind by night,
- And by day one-eyed with your foolish wisdom!
