- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Seeker!
- Do not be reckless.
- Meditate constantly
- Or you will swallow fire
- And cry out: "No more!"
- If you are not wise,
- How can you steady the mind?
- If you cannot quieten yourself,
- What will you ever learn?
- How will you become free?
- With a quiet mind
- Come into that empty house, your heart,
- And feel the joy of the way
- Beyond the world.
- Look within --
- The rising and the falling.
- What happiness!
- How sweet to be free!
- It is the beginning of life,
- Of mastery and patience,
- Of good friends along the way,
- Of a pure and active life.
- So live in love.
- Do your work.
- Make an end of your sorrows.
- For see how the jasmine
- Releases and lets fall
- Its withered flowers.
- Let fall willfulness and hatred.
- Are you quiet?
- Quieten your body.
- Quieten your mind.
- You want nothing.
- Your words are still.
- You are still.
- By your own efforts
- Waken yourself, watch yourself.
- And live joyfully.
- You are the master,
- You are the refuge.
- As a merchant breaks in a fine horse,
- Master yourself.
- How gladly you follow
- The words of the awakened.
- How quietly, how surely
- You approach the happy country,
- The heart of stillness.
- However young,
- The seeker who sets out upon the way
- Shines bright over the world.
- Like the Moon,
- Come out from behind the clouds!
- Shine.
