The Image of Existence
Come, so we can wash away the image of existence and no longer speak of 'I' and 'we'.
Come, and like us let your thoughts pass away; forget both worlds and be silent.
Come, but beware of the shame of knowing send those endless lines of learning from your head.
Come, so we can cast far away all sayable things and blind our eyes to all there is to see.
Come, we will be strangers to all and seem mad in the eyes of the intellectuals.
Come, we'll empty ourselves of self and leave behind the disgrace of ŒI'.
Come, and welcome un-fulfillment, for we do not suppose our self's desires to be the goal.
Come, and be drowned in the Ocean of Unity, free from all thoughts of union and separation.
As this world is not even worth a grain of sand, other than what is old and new, it is nothing.
