- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- There is nothing but water in the holy pools,
- I know, I have been swimming in them.
- All the gods sculpted of wood and ivory
- Can't say a word.
- I know, I have been crying out to them.
- The sacred books of the East are nothing but words.
- I looked through their covers one day sideways.
- What Kabir talks about
- Is only what he has lived through.
- If you have not lived through something,
- It is not true.
- I have been thinking of the difference between water
- And the waves on it. Rising,
- Water's still water, falling back,
- It is water. Will you give me a hint
- How to tell them apart?
- Because someone has made up the word 'wave',
- Do I have to distinguish it from 'water'?
- There is a secret one inside us.
- The planets in all the galaxies
- Pass through his hands like beads.
- That is a string of beads one should look at
- With luminous eyes.
