- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- Then Almitra spoke, saying, we would ask now of death.
- And he said:
- You would know the secret of death.
- But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
- The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
- If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
- For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
- In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
- And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
- Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
- Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd
- When he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honor.
- Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
- Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
- For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
- And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
- Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
- And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
- And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
