Page 9 The river and the sea are not to be separated The sepal cannot be separated from the rose And words –words in unbroken silence Which have the sameness of purpose While light remains the origin of all O this beguiles the mind into understanding and unknowing (Even the shadows are cast by the light) (Wander there, and pluck the fruit of this orchard) Unless, in the ordinary mind, you hold to outer forms and names And so forgo the exquisite unknowing of something other than yourself Previous Page / First / Next * * * Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground More works inspired by Eckhart ||| Eckhart Home
The river and the sea are not to be separated
The sepal cannot be separated from the rose
And words –words in unbroken silence
Which have the sameness of purpose
While light remains the origin of all
O this beguiles the mind into understanding and unknowing
(Even the shadows are cast by the light)
(Wander there, and pluck the fruit of this orchard)
Unless, in the ordinary mind, you hold to outer forms and names
And so forgo the exquisite unknowing of something other than yourself
