To think thoughts at odds
With what you do or say
Is to separate yourself
As thinker and doer
And this conflict

No longer seeking integrity,
This bifurcated whole ceases
To be the sensitive instrument
Of learning it was meant to be

The gentle current of receptivity
Meant to permeate the entire being
As an vital vivifier of knowledge
Is lost in the turmoil of self-doubt
And channelled into the raw
Emotions of fear, self-satisfaction,
Self-pity and competitiveness

Seek integrity, ārjavam (आर्जवम)
In thought, words, and deeds
By acting through shoshin (初心)
Through openness and simplicity

Dualistic views demarcate reality
And the sense of separateness
Within and without is a contrivance
To grasp the perfect continuity
Of consciousness and all reality
In place and time
