- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- I know the sound of the ecstatic flute,
- But I don't know whose flute it is.
- A lamp burns and has neither wick nor oil.
- A waterplant blossoms and it is not attached to the bottom.
- When one flower opens, ordinarily dozens open.
- The moon bird's head is filled with nothing but thoughts
- Of the moon,
- And when the next rain will come
- Is all that the rain bird thinks of.
- Who is it we spend our entire life loving?
- It is time to put up a love-swing!
- Tie the body and then tie the mind so that they swing
- Between the arms of the secret one you love.
- Bring the water that falls from the clouds to your eyes.
- And cover yourself over entirely with the shadow of night.
- Bring your face up close to his ear,
- And then talk only about what you want deeply to happen.
- Kabir says, 'Listen to me, brother, bring the face, shape,
- And odor of the holy one inside you.'
