- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- 9. Reaching the Source
- Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source. Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning!
- Dwelling in one's true abode, unconcerned with that without -- the river flows tranquilly on and the flowers are red.
- Comment:
- From the beginning, truth is clear. Poised in silence, I observe the forms of integration and disintegration. One who is not attached to form need not be reformed. The water is emerald, the mountain is indigo, and I see that which is creating and that which is destroying.
- 10. In the World
- Barefooted and naked of breast,
- I mingle with the people of the world.
- My clothes are ragged and dust-laden and I am ever blissful.
- I use no magic to extend my life;
- Now, before me, the trees become alive.
- Comment:
- Inside my gate, a thousand sages do not know me. The beauty of my garden is invisible. Why should one search for the footprints of the patriarchs? I go to the marketplace with my bottle and return home with my staff. I visit the wine shop and the market, and everyone I look upon becomes enlightened.
