There has been the fact of drawing a fish, but nothing remains of either the fish nor the drawing.

[Guest guest]

If a man wakes up and stretches his arms out to embrace the woman of his dreams,

all that he finds, is himself.

 

Whatever a sage or a Jnani does is not done with any specific purpose;

therefore it matters nothing to him or her whether he or she does it or not;

or whether something comes of it or not.

 

Wherever the Jnani places his foot is his pilgrimage,

and if does go on a pilgrimage, it is as if he has not moved at all.

 

Oh, my Guru, what a state , where I am the giver and I am the taker;

I am both the giving and the taking.

 

The wonder of one has awakened who was never asleep

and that put to sleep who was never awake.

 

Since I am awareness, unaware of awareness, for whose benefit should I talk?

And if I do not talk, is that awareness going to be lost?

 

Therefore, even if my lips have spoken, that teaching is really the silence of silence

because in fact there has neither been any talking nor absence of talking.

 

It is like drawing the figure of fish in the water.

 

There has been the fact of drawing a fish

but nothing remains of either the fish nor the drawing.
