Man does not know the wrongdoings of his life, 

nor does he know what he yearns for in life. 

Man limits his life. 

Saints of the past said that

the reality of this world was not its true reality –

that everything in the world passes by like the clouds – 

but people do not know the meaning of these words.

Man alone sings praises about life, no other. 

Though a being of Truth may speak of Truth, 

man cannot hear it 

even though he thinks he is the smartest,

even though he has ears and eyes.

Knowledge is the acceptance one creates in his mind. 

Perhaps this is why the path to knowledge is a difficult one to take.

I teach people that a wise person is one 

who kills his body and thus breaks free from it, 

all with his mind.

From “Nature’s Flow”
