“As long as you are subject
To a life bound by force of habit,
You are not free from the
Burden of the body.”

The packet of seeds
Rustling , nudging for years
Burst open today.
I shall reap the seeds of trust.

“Your self-partiality is at
the root of all your illusions.
There aren’t any illusions
when you don’t have this
preference for yourself”.

“Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices,
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent”.

You will see then that both your body and mind,
together with the mountains, rivers, space,
and earth of the outward world,
are all within the wonderful, illumined,
and true Mind.

Outwardly, all activities cease;
Inwardly, the mind stops its panting.
When one”s mind has become a wall,
Then he may begin to enter the Tao.

Attain the center of emptiness,
Preserve the utmost quiet;
As myriad things act in concert
I thereby observe the return.
Things flourish,
Then each returns to its root.
Returning to the root
Is called stillness:
Stillness is called return to Life,
Return to Life is called the constant;
Knowing the constant is called enlightenment.

At the sound of the bell in the silent night,
I wake from my dream in this dreamworld of ours.
Gazing at the reflection of the moon in a clear pool,
I see, beyond my form,
my real form.

Sitting by the pathless path
Pines showered
A mynah sings
You are.

O friend
Of her mind, body and soul
I see you seeing her dusting her knots
She re-knots them, knot after knot, tight and firm
O friend of twenty five years
Let her gather some dust of her own
It will loosen the knots of time
In time
Dust is good, dust is all there is
Paba in her mind and body
Lend a hand
So that she can breathe.
