No.259 - This pond is clear


This pond is clear

'Just as if, in the midst of the mountains there were a pond, clear as a polished mirror, where a man with good eyesight standing on the bank could see oyster-shells, gravelbanks, and shoals of fish, on the move or stationary. And he might think: "This pond is clear, there are oyster-shells ... ",
Just so, with mind concentrated, he knows: "Birth is finished, the holy life has been led, done is what had to be done, there is nothing further here."
