when a mine of gold lies within you?
Open your eyes and come ---
Return to the root of the root

How long will you decieve Us with this outer show?

you became loving, radiant, and ecstatic.
Your eyes were sweet and full of fire.
Come, return to the root of the root
of your own soul.

Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That.

Go without head and feet
and you'll already be there.
What else could you be? - you are That.”
