synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
On knowing the eternal law:
Attain the utmost in passivity,
Hold firm to the basis of quietude.
The myriad things take shape and rise to activity,
But I watch them fall back to their repose,
Like vegetation that luxuriantly grows
But returns to the root (soil) from which it springs.
To return to the root is repose;
It is called going back to one's destiny.
Going back to one's destiny is to find the eternal law,
To know the eternal law is enlightenment.
And not to know the eternal law
Is to court disaster.
