The world was spun out of a blade of grass:

the world was spun out of a mind. Heaven

was spun out of a blade of grass: heaven was spun

out of a mind. Neither will do you much good,

neither will do you much harm. The Oriental

imperturbed, is the golden eternity.

He is called a Yogi, he is called a Priest,

a Minister, a Brahmin, a Parson, a Chaplain,

a Rôshi, a Laoshih, a Master, a Patriarch, a Pope,

a Spiritual Commissar, a Counselor, an Adviser,

a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, an Old Man, a Saint,

a Shaman, a Leader, who thinks nothing of

himself as separate from another self, not

higher nor lower, no stages and no definite

attainments, no mysterious stigmata or secret

holyhood, no wild dark knowledge and no

venerable authoritativeness, nay a giggling sage

sweeping out the kitchen with a broom. After

supper, a silent smoke. Because there is no

definite teaching: the world is undisciplined

Nature endlessly in every direction inward

to your body and outward into space.
