Friend,

hope for the guest

while you are alive.

Jump into experience

while you are alive!

​Think… and think…

while you are alive.

​

What you call ‘salvation’

belongs to the time before death.

If you don’t break your ropes

while you are alive,

do you think ghosts will do it after?

​

The idea that the you

will join with the ecstatic

Just because the body is rotten

–

That is all fantasy.

​

What is found now is found then.

​

If you find nothing now,

you will simply end up

with an apartment in the City of Death.

​

If you make love with the divine now,

in the next life

you will have the face of satisfied desire.

​

So plunge into the truth,

find out who the teacher is,

Believe in the Great Sound !

…

When the guest is being searched for,

it is the intensity of the longing for the guest

that does all the work.

​

Look at me,

and you will see

a slave of that intensity.

…
