May I not resist what persists
All reality is deception Feelings and characterisations The citta sańkhāra (चित्त संस्कार) The fabrications of perception And neither this persuasive truth Nor the opinions of others Can truthfully be trusted at all And to see through the design is to Direct its flow and guide its effect To see the pattern is to not Be deceived by the deception To not struggle towards an Imaginary truth, lost in the folds Of complex philosophies When instead, it is to be found Right at the heart of deception
