STANZA 1
The true way is unknown and so is the untrue way
There are no names to understand It
Creation does not care that It is the source of creation
Emanating as some thing It is not without nourishment
Mysteries are revealed
Become Its way
Attain Its perfection
Do not use words to describe Its no-thing-ness
The three are the same but distinct
One is the Body
One is the Heart
One is the Mind
To understand It as One is the most you can do
It is the path to higher and lesser knowledge
Man cannot know that which is unknowable. At best, he can only suggest a meaning according to his own personal needs. There are no titles he can give to even his own ideas of what this profound truth is except words that still cannot explain Its essence. It cannot be known through an address and cannot be known through no-address. It does not need man’s recognition. It forever sustains Itself. The source of creation is not concerned that It is the source of creation. If It were concerned with Itself, then It would interfere with Itself. If It interfered with Itself, It would be impure and, therefore, would never be perfect. This perfect source of perfect creation must come from a perfect source of perfect creation—from the infinite to the finite—back and forth into the no-thing-ness of the conscious universe, Itself.
When we get out of our own way and permit Infinite Wisdom to express Itself through us, it is because we have decided to permit the Spirit of the Thing Itself to dominate us for Its own good and our perfection. This is done through acceptance of “It.” The only way we can understand what is happening to us is by inventing words to describe ourselves to ourselves. Then, we may continue to interact with others until we pass through Yin and Yang, cease being what we thought we were, and simply become ourselves. Otherwise, we must become hermits and not have intercourse with anyone. Otherwise, we will be considered mad and have to leave our places.
