- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- My friend, everything existing
- Exists through him;
- Your own existence is a mere pretense.
- No more nonsense! Lose yourself,
- And the hell of your heart becomes a heaven.
- Lose yourself, and anything can be accomplished.
- Your selfishness is an untrained colt.
- You are what you are:
- Hence your loves and hates;
- You are what you are:
- Hence faith and unbelief.
- Hope and fear drive fortune from your door;
- Lose yourself, and they will be no more.
- At his door, what is the difference
- Between Moslem and Christian,
- Virtuous and guilty?
- At his door all are seekers
- And he the sought.
- God is without cause:
- Why are you looking for causes?
- The sun of truth rises unbidden,
- And with it sets the moon of learning.
- In this halt of but a week,
- To be is not to be,
- And to come is to go.
- And does the sun exists
- For the cock to crow at?
- What is it to him
- Whether you are there or not?
- Many have come, just like you,
- To his door.
- You won't find your way
- In this street; if there is a way,
- It is on your road of sighs.
- All of you are far
- From the road of devotion:
- Sometimes you are virtuous,
- Sometimes you are wicked:
- So you hope for yourselves, fear for yourselves;
- But when your mask of wisdom and folly
- At last turns white, you will see
- That hope and fear are one.
