- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- And the weaver said, speak to us of clothes.
- And he answered:
- Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.
- And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain.
- Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment.
- For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.
- Some of you say, "It is the North wind who has woven the clothes we wear."
- And I say, ay, it was the North wind,
- But shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread.
- And when his work was done, he laughed in the forest.
- Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.
- And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?
- And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
