Vedanta*
The
lotus
leaf
Receives
the
rain
And
is
not
moistened,
Takes
no
stain.
Padmapatra
nyaya.
A
thunderclap:
You
drop
the
bowl,
It
smashes-‐-‐
Yet
the
space
is
whole.
Ghatakasha
nyaya.
Myriad
Reflections
bright;
The
sun
for
day,
The
moon
for
night.
Surya
bimba
nyaya.
Gold
is
shining
Everywhere;
Seek
it
in
your
heart
And
not
your
hair.
Kanakakundala
nyaya.
Fear
can
make
Each
rope
a
snake.
Take
courage
And
your
eyes
may
wake.
Rajjusarpa
nyaya.
