"It is my kamana (wish) that in the limitless coming time
there may remain no kama (lust) in this heart, that's all!
There is only one purpose
of this auspicious journey
that equanimity-equality may be my food,
that ever rising, ever blooming may my feelings
be,
that the violence having the demon's body may not have influence on man's mind,
in the sky, on the earth, insides of the earth may the religion of jiva, the religion of kindness flourish....!"
The bucket overflowing with water now rises up from the well,
from the bottom of the fall
towards the heights of progress. The fish is only seeing,
there is no dearth of water,
there is no dearth of strength
yet
the fish is not swimming.
Silent Soil: 77
