- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- He is awake.
- The victory is his.
- He has conquered the world.
- How can he lose the way
- Who is beyond the way?
- His eye is open.
- His foot is free.
- Who can follow after him?
- The world cannot reclaim him
- Or lead him astray,
- Nor can the poisoned net of desire hold him.
- He is awake!
- The gods watch over him.
- He is awake
- And finds joy in the stillness of meditation
- And in the sweetness of surrender.
- Hard it is to be born,
- Hard it is to live,
- Harder still to hear of the way,
- And hard to rise, follow, and awake.
- Yet the teaching is simple.
- Do what is right.
- Be pure.
- At the end of the way is freedom.
- Till then, patience.
- If you wound or grieve another,
- You have not learned detachment.
- Offend in neither word nor deed.
- Eat with moderation.
- Live in your heart.
- Seek the highest consciousness.
