If Thou Has Not Seen The Devil,

Last Night You Left Me And Slept Your Own Deep Sleep. Tonight You Turn And Turn. I Say, 'you And I Will Be Together Till The Universe Dissolves.' You Mumble Back Things You Thought Of When You Were Drunk.

No Mirror Ever Became Iron Again; No Bread Ever Became Wheat; No Ripened Grape Ever Became Sour Fruit. Mature Yourself And Be Secure From A Change For The Worse. Become The Light.

Passion Is Present When A Man Can Distinguish Between The Wine And The Container. Two Men See A Loaf Of Bread. One Hasn't Eaten Anything For Ten Days. The Other Has Eaten Five Times A Day, Every Day. He Sees The Shape Of The Loaf. The Other Man With His Urgent Need Sees Inside Into The Taste, And Into The Nourishment The Bread Could Give. Be That Hungry, To See Within All Beings The Friend.

When You Eventually See Through The Veils To How Things Really Are, You Will Keep Saying Again And Again, This Is Certainly Not Like We Thought It Was.

Seek The Wisdom That Will Untie Your Knot. Seek The Path That Demands Your Whole Being.
