370) Once you have seen the light at the Source, you no longer have eyes for the shadows. The aligned mirrors do not wander. Their reflection is the eye and the vision of the Truth, at last, manifestation of the One.
371) For each thing they grasp, the hand will vanish. What is left for them? Not even their own selves.
372) Those who drink water from their own hands and pause to look at their own face lose the vision. The image does not quench thirst. Close your eyes and drink. You exist just the same.
373) The three mirrors, doors of the centrifugal force, no longer lead to false external reflections, but towards the inner light.
374) Without stillness – reflections, fragments and shadows. The Word passes through the Stillness in the Moment – but later, in the residual impression, finally no!
375) No longer are the most beautiful things for oneself; this only causes one to become poorer. Now they are for everyone, this makes one rich. You, even more so, as you already possess the reflection aimed within.
376) The reflection, mirage in the desert of your limitations, is of no interest to those who have the seeds, flowers, leaves and fruits of the Divine in their garden.
377) At last, the virtualization of illusions no longer manipulates or pursues you! You are immersed in illusion, but not a slave to it.
378) The sign of your passage does not lie in the richness of your dwelling, nor in the art which enriches the walls of the mind, nor in the desires which you refuge in.
379) A seeker of spiritual realization could possibly eliminate illusory suffering in a universe. But if the condition of the non-enlightened sentient being is illusory, what is it that the “holy person,” the seeker, eliminates? The elimination of illusory suffering will be illusory merit; illusory effort dedicated to an illusory goal. Only those who attain Realization through illusion, earning no merit, save the entire universe.
