Think not of beauty and love,
nor for reason -
nor for hope
or inspirations hands grasp :
It eludes as you fish for it,
let the line go
leave the rod
and act not - on what you lack.
For to be in three's grasp
then only know Thy Self
'n be wise of Others Faults
as a blessing conferred becometh
from what lacks came ;
Act not with the troubles and sorrows
but against them ---
Be with what you have instead
of not a tragedy
of not a disaster
with that flow - for it is water.
Pour it over your troubles then
into mountains
it made rivers
Be thou as thus - as you must.
And water is life, it only flows
nor for reason
nor for hope
but because it must to not rot.
May your eyes be blinded
and your voice as a mute
and your ears turn deaf,
that all other senses sharpened,
as the archer whom once
lost an arm, but invented new ways
of shooting arrows ---
Flow with it to the sharp stone
form Self with it
and as a hole made
as a fish you swam through --
For the hook and the worm
of not to fear it
of not caught
was not attained - but removed !
