THE WIND DOES NOT BLOW
The wind does not blow
for the blowing is the wind;
and no water exists in the sea;
there is no space where there are no things
and no paradise exists without me.
There is no time with but one event,
an event which does not alter;
the wind does not blow
for the blowing is the wind
and the sea contains no water.
The light does not shine,
for the shining is the light,
and the knowing is the mind;
and nought is made ahead of me,
and nought is made behind.
The wind does not blow
for the wind is but the blowing,
and the sea contains no water,
there is no time without events;
and no mind without the knowing.
The flow contains no river,
the river contains no flow;
for the flowing is the river,
and the mind can do nought but know.
Without a lover nought could be loved,
and yet love is never abated;
for the love that exists in paradise
is the love for no thing created.
And when you know the truth of this
then you will come to see
that everything and no thing
are the same great mystery.
