My heart has
become capable of every form:
It is a pasture for gazelles and a cloister
for Christian monks, a temple for idols and
the pilgrim’s Ka’ba, and the tables of
the torah and the book of
the Qur’an.
I follow
the religion of love:
whatever way love’s camels take,
that is my religion and
my faith.
I tell those around me
that if you turn away from the core,
your soul, you will fall into an unliving stupor.
The great crocodile comes and crushes your ship.
Eyes go one way, ears another; your intelligence
skews beyond reason. This disaster
can visit anyone.
When your ability
to choose comes back, your identity
will strengthen; ear and eye will realign;
and you can again be a friend,
a lover, a devotee.

Cogitation,
making judgements,
following patterns, firing arrows,
engaging in endless ideation and emotional
behavior — all these are to be abandoned
and transcended on the
Way.
Be still.
Do non doing.
A clear and open
state of freedom
will appear.

The way
to enlightenment
is through emptiness.
Quiet the senses,
forget the body, abandon
concepts and control and contention.
Transform the mind into a pile of cool
ashes, and then do non-doing until
stillness permeates inside
and out.
In this
way you can be
illuminated by the clarity
and silence of the
Oneness.

gone forever, eternally present
Don’t try to
escape from the movements of the
world. Remain in the midst of everything,
focused into the empty space at the
center of your self.
Pouring your
whole being there without pause,
alert, quietly smiling, you detach from clamor
and chaos and become independent and
free. From here you can teach
yourself everything.
