"By those who know the discourse on dharmas

as like unto a raft

dharmas should be forsaken, still more so

no-dharmas"

 

Hearing the dharmas, and still more so, no-dharmas

should be forsaken

some are of the opinion that there is no gate

that is their opinion

there is no way of knowing except to go

through it

IT IS DOING THE i THAT AM DOING IT

i AM BEING DONE BY THE IT i AM DOING

IT IS DOING IT

 

One is afraid of

the self that is afraid of

Jill can see Jack can't see,

and can't see he can't see.

Jill can see WHY

Jack can't see,

But Jill cannot see WHY

Jack can't see he can't see.

 

Jack 'sees' Jill is blind

and that Jill can't see she is.

Jack realises they both are.

If the blind must lead the blind, it is as well

that the leader knows he is.

 

Jack can't see he can't see

and can't see

Jill can't see Jill can't see it.

and visa versa...

She does not get what she wants from him

so she feels he is mean

She cannot give him what he wants from her

so she feels that he is greedy

 

He does not get what he wants from her

so he feels she is mean

 

and

I want it

I get it

therefore I am good

 

I want it

I don't get it

therefore I am bad

 

I am bad

because I didn't get it

 

I am bad

because I wanted what I didn't get

 

I must take care

to get what I want

and want what I get

and not get what I don't want

I get what I deserve

I deserve what I get.

 

I have it

therefore I deserve it

 

I deserve it

because I have it.

 

You have not got it

therefore you do not deserve it

 

You do not deserve it

because you have not got it

 

You have not got it

because you do not deserve it

 

You do not deserve it

therefore you have not got it.

They are playing a game. They are playing at not

playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I

shall break the rules and they will punish me.

I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.

There must be something the matter with him

because he would not be acting as he does

unless there was

therefore he is acting as he is

because there is something the matter with him

 

 

He does not think there is anything the matter with him

because

one of the things that is

the matter with him

is that he does not think there is anything

the matter with him

therefore

we have to help him realise that,

the fact that he does not think thereis anything

the matter with him

is one of the things that is the matter with him
