- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Yoga Taru, also chanting.
- English part:
- The sutra
- The yogi, being alone and indifferent like the sky, does not even in the least attach himself with the future.
- Even as the ether inside a wine jar remains untouched by the smell of wine, so the self, even in association with its covering, remains uncontaminated by its nature.
- As the arrow aimed at its target cannot but hit it after it has left the bow, so the karmas performed before the advent of knowledge will yield its fruit, even after one has attained knowledge.
- It implies that the fruits of karma done before realization have to be lived out.
- As the arrow shot at a tiger cannot be stopped upon learning that it is a cow and not a tiger, but rather goes forth and hits its object just as forcefully.
- So the action performed yields its fruits even after knowledge has been attained.
- One who knows his self as ever young and deathless also remains so.
- How could he even have an imagination of the bondage due to past conditions? It means that there is no relationship between the sage and his past conditionings.
- The sutra
