- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Swan, I'd like you to tell me your whole story!
- Where you first appeared, and what dark sand
- You are going toward,
- And where you sleep at night, and what you are
- Looking for....
- It's morning, swan, wake up, climb in the air,
- Follow me!
- I know of a country that spiritual flatness
- Does not control, nor constant depression,
- And those alive are not afraid to die.
- There wild flowers come up through the leafy floor,
- And the fragrance of 'I am he' floats on the wind.
- There the bee of the heart stays deep inside the flower,
- And cares for no other thing.
- Don't go outside your house to see flowers.
- My friend, don't bother with that excursion.
- Inside your body there are flowers.
- One flower has a thousand petals.
- That will do for a place to sit.
- Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
- Inside the body and out of it,
- Before gardens and after gardens.
