“Like treasure hidden in the ground
taste in the fruit
gold in the rock
oil in the seed
the Absolute hidden away in the heart
no one can know the ways of our lord white as jasmine…
Breath for fragrance, who needs flowers?
With peace, patience, forgiving and self-command,
who needs the Ultimate Posture?
The whole world becomes oneself,
who needs solitude?
O lord white as jasmine.”
Mahadeviyakkha, 12th century India
