If Diving Once Does Not Bring You

Live In The World Like A Waterfowl. The Water Clings To The Bird, But The Bird Shakes It Off. Live In The World Like A Mudfish. The Fish Lives In The Mud, But Its Skin Is Always Bright And Shiny.

The Truth Is That You Cannot Attain God If You Have Even A Trace Of Desire. Subtle Is The Way Of Dharma. If You Are Trying To Thread A Needle, You Will Not Succeed If The Thread Has Even A Slight Fiber Sticking Out.

The Way Of Love Is As True As The Way Of Knowledge. All Paths Ultimately Lead To The Same Truth. But As Long As God Keeps The Feeling Of Ego In Us, It Is Easier To Follow The Path Of Love.

Only Two Kinds Of People Can Attain Self-knowledge: Those Who Are Not Encumbered At All With Learning, That Is To Say, Whose Minds Are Not Over-crowded With Thoughts Borrowed From Others; And Those Who, After Studying All The Scriptures And Sciences, Have Come To Realise That They Know Nothing.

The World Is Not Impermanent If One Lives There After Knowing God.
