________________
Only failure has been received, perturbation has given company; how to say, how to bear and how to live?...
Only blank talk of success
has been had till today, in this life....
The disquiet mind of the saint, insisting to get lost
in the fragrance of infinity, leaping to get beyond
the limit of finitude,
asks thus:
'Oh light yellow-coloured one!
Mother earth! Where have you gone...
Oh glory of the spring! Where have you gone?'
At this
the saint gets some words to hear: "The spring has ended,
the finite has got lost in the infinite
and its body has to be cremated.
The summer was summoned, has come
the sun is terrible,
its rays are scorching, inside-outside, right- left, ahead-behind, upside-downside
heat wave is blowing.
That's all! Raining only
the heat... the heat.... the heat....!
The condition of the ten directions has changed,
Silent Soil: 177
