Seasons of the Bhodi

"Mahakavi...tell me, what is the body?"

'It is: the candle desiring flame;
    it is:  the universe self-contained;
       it is:  the realization of love,
          through the gratitude of pain.'

 

"Mahakavi...will you let me know,
   what is the nature of the soul?"

 

             'It is: the unwritten page;
         it is: the empty picture frame;
    it is: the absence of the self,
through the charity of change.'
