If a few ashes fall on a mirror,

The notion of
enlightenment means, “not bound”.
Not bound to what? Not bound to one’s own
mind in ordinary ways; not bound in confusion
to all the suffering that one’s mind
has produced and is
experiencing.
Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you’re working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver
So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
These are the words
Of my master, keep on tellin’ me
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (… fall in it)
If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
(To cut you down)
(To cut you down)
These are the words
Of my master, tellin’ me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (… bury in it)
If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

The Honorable Robert Nesta Marley. O.M.
The Spirit
of the Valley never dies:
it is called Mysterious-Female.
The gate of the Mysterious-Female
is called root of Heaven
and Earth.
This is the opening
that generates Heaven, Earth,
and humans; this is the hometown of Saints,
Buddhas, and Immortals. You arrange the furnace
and set up the tripod here; you collect the Medicine and
refine it here; you coagulate the Elixir here; and you
deliver it here. Being is here, Non-Being is here.
The beginning and the end of all
operation are here.
This Opening
is the place where the four
elements do not stick: it is in the realm
of Empty Non-Being, “silent and still.” Neither can
you find it by using your intention, nor can you guard it by
not using your mind. If those who cultivate themselves want to
find this One Opening, they must begin by looking for it.
Only when they truly know it and clearly see it, they
can begin to collect the treasure of Heaven.
Those who not know this Opening may
strive in one thousand different ways
and toil in ten thousand different
manners, but they will never
see any progress or
improvement.
How could students
not strive? How could they not
exert their minds to inquire
into the principles?
