notes
synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
From him forgiveness comes so fast,
It reaches us before repentance
Has even taken shape on our lips.
He is your shepherd,
And you prefer the wolf;
He invites you to him,
And yet you stay unfed;
He gives you his protection,
Yet you are sound asleep:
Oh, well done,
You senseless upstart fool!
He heals our nature from within,
Kinder to us than we ourselves are.
A mother does not love her child
With half the love that he bestows.
You have broken faith,
Yet still he keeps his faith with you:
He is truer to you
Than you are to yourself.
He created your mental powers;
Yet his knowledge is innocent
Of the passage of thought.
He knows what is in your heart;
Or he made your heart along with your clay;
But if you think that he knows
In the same way that you do,
Then you are stuck like a donkey
In your own mud.
In his presence,
Silence is the gift of tongues.
He knows the touch
Of an ant's foot
Moving in darkness
Over a rock.
He always knows
What is in men's minds:
You would do well
To reflect on this.
