Master asks the pupils:
“how would one find enlightenment?"
the enlightened one replies:
“When we learn to quench our thirst
in an empty jug;
when we find a river inside a candle light,
seas inside a wave,
oceans inside a drop,
galaxies inside molecules,
perpetuity within discontinuation,
everlasting now, within the passing ones,
unending, within ends,
life within death,
blank space in the lines laden with words,
words, inside blank spaces and lines,
momentums inside pause,
pause inside momentums,
When we learn how to walk on the water
and swim in the ground,
when we learn we never begin before something ends
that we are both, those endings and those beginnings
simultaneously,
for simultaneousness never lines up exactly
unless in omnipresence.
The master continues in his teary joy:
“When
I am teacher enough to become a pupil
as you are."
