when you search into it

binsar bakkara

 

Whether you are going

or staying or sitting or lying down,

the whole world is your own self.  You must find

out whether the mountains, rivers, grass,

and forests exist in your own mind

or exist outside it. 

 

Analyze the ten thousand things,

dissect them minutely, and when you take this

to the limit  you will come to the limitless, when you search

into it you come to the end of search, where thinking goes

no further and distinctions vanish. When you smash

the citadel of doubt, then the Buddha

is simply yourself.
