The Bull Transcended
« Astride the bull, I reach home.
I am serene. The bull too can rest.
The dawn has come. In blissful repose,
Within my thatched dwelling I have abandoned the whip and rope. »
All is one law, not two. We only make the bull a temporary subject. It is
as the relation of rabbit and trap, of fish and net. It is as gold and dross,
or the moon emerging from a cloud. One path of clear light travels on
throughout endless time.
