All reality is deception
Feelings and characterisations
The citta sańkhāra (चित्त संस्कार)
Fabricated at the gates of perception

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
Influence 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
