only living in Maya (worldly relations)
does not give one up to Maya
(worldliness).
Attachment and interest in them is necessary.
Carefully taking the pitchers from the kiln
one by one in hand,
the potter is putting them on the earth.
The soil was, is and will be
of the earth.
But formerly that was in the lap
now is, in the form of the pitcher, on the breast of the earth.
Outward or inward
from every organ of the pitcher a wave of music is flowing out, and
the earth and the sky orbit. are swimming in that song.
Lo, the pitcher has not passed even two or three days
having come out of the kiln,
the surge of auspicious sentiments in his mind
is telling all, that
now there is no fall, only rising..... successive elevation-elevation,
novel future-crop,
appearance of the fortune...!
