The river and its waves are one surf: where

is the difference between the river and its waves?

 

When the wave rises, it is the water; and when

it falls, it is the same water again. Tell me, Sir,

where is the distinction?

 

Because it has been named a wave, shall it

no longer be considered as water?

 

Within the supreme Brahma, the worlds are

being told like beads:

 

Look upon that rosary with the eyes of wisdom.
