- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- He looks deeply into things
- And sees their nature.
- He discriminates
- And reaches the end of the way.
- He does not linger
- With those who have a home
- Nor with those who stray.
- Wanting nothing,
- He travels on alone.
- He hurts nothing.
- He never kills.
- He moves with love among the unloving,
- With peace and detachment
- Among the hungry and querulous.
- Like a mustard seed from the point of a needle
- Hatred has fallen from him,
- And lust, hypocrisy and pride.
- He offends no one.
- Yet he speaks the truth.
- His words are clear
- But never harsh.
- Whatever is not his
- He refuses,
- Good or bad, great or small.
- He wants nothing from this world
- And nothing from the next.
- He is free.
