Verses



7 – Illusion (Necessary Journeys)

Chapters
                 

70) Those who, without rest, seek themselves, know that they have lost themselves. In truth, the lives of those who believe that they have found themselves are made up of illusions.
71) Why do you deceive yourself that there is a reason for your movement? You are the reason!
72) The stronger you feel in your illusory ‘selves,’ the more elusive you have become. Do you think that events can increase your solidity or your substance? Your life is dust in the wind and, at the end of this world, neither dust nor wind.
73) If you follow the footprints of patriarchs, prophets, and sages, they will lead you into the void and wait for your crash. Listen only to what is said, be careful of what is written. The Universal Net of Indra holds the truth.
74) Only the Word lives in eternity. In It, there are no questions and no answers.
75) The place that awaits the end of your illusory path lies beyond duality.
76) You must, you can, exist beyond space – time. Whatever you seize is lost. When you lose your hands, you lose the illusion of seizing. All Things are higher than your searching, even higher than your seizing. All lies further within.
77) Every position you assume is pure illusion. It is also Reality, it is apparent separation. It is every sentient being, it is all sentient beings. It is in time, it is without time. It is. The Absolute?
78) Your entire existence is conditioned. A wall separates you from Reality. It is the wall of illusions created by the deluded.
79) You will fall into every place. There will no longer be a right place or a wrong place for you.
