I
said to the wanting-creature inside me:
What is this river you want to cross?
There are no travelers on the river-road, and no road.
Do you see anyone moving about on the bank, or resting?
There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman.
There is no tow rope either, and no one to pull it.
There is no ground, no sky, no time to bank, no ford!

There is no ground, no sky, no time to bank, no ford!
And
there is no body, and no mind!
Do you believe there is some place that will make the soul less thirsty?
In that great absence you will find nothing.
Do you believe there is some place that will make the soul less thirsty?
In that great absence you will find nothing.
Be
strong then, and enter into your own body;
There you have a solid place for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don’t go off somewhere else!
There you have a solid place for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don’t go off somewhere else!
Just
throw away all thoughts of imaginary things,
And stand firm in that which you are.
And stand firm in that which you are.
There is only one YOU! Find yourself, find your Bliss.
