Bowl of Saki for January 9    (9)


Harmony

Lain upon the altar of the heart, the body was stood up. Arise and be fixed to the cross. Neither forward nor back, nor up, nor down. Given in sacrifice the eye raised to the mind. Given in sacrifice, thought of self was lain upon the altar. Rise up, lifted, it was fixed upon the cross. Neither up nor down; nor right nor left - no movement, no clinging; given in sacrifice. The Heart lit in the center, it rose of its own accord; engulfing the "I" of body and mind. As the dove descended, it now spreads its wings and flies unencumbered. New I. Old I given and now included. Let go, and became.
