00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:08.160 align:middle line:84%
Well, it's hard
to move from what

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.090 align:middle line:84%
we were talking
about with Vietnam,

00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:19.320 align:middle line:84%
back into courses that
is about the inward life.

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.470 align:middle line:84%
Because Vietnam is
about the outward life.

00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:26.430 align:middle line:84%
But let me read you one
more poem of Kabir then.

00:00:26.430 --> 00:00:28.440 align:middle line:90%
He was a 14th century cobbler.

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.530 align:middle line:84%
Uneducated, one of the greatest
religious poets the world

00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:32.590 align:middle line:90%
has ever seen.

00:00:32.590 --> 00:00:35.670 align:middle line:84%
But Rabindranath Tagore
translated some of them

00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:39.720 align:middle line:84%
years ago, and I've adapted
some of these translations.

00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:42.930 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem, as Buddhism
talks about-- that there

00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:46.350 align:middle line:84%
isn't any difference in the end,
between the soul and the body.

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:48.810 align:middle line:84%
Because the soul of the
body is spirit, and the soul

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:52.300 align:middle line:90%
itself is part of the body.

00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:54.270 align:middle line:84%
So actually, you are
nothing but a fire.

00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:58.290 align:middle line:84%
And the point is to make
that fire come alive.

00:00:58.290 --> 00:01:01.200 align:middle line:84%
Student, do the
simple purification.

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.440 align:middle line:84%
You know that the seed is
inside the chestnut tree.

00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:08.400 align:middle line:84%
And that inside the seeds, there
are also the chestnut blossoms.

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.520 align:middle line:90%
And the chestnut, and the shade.

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:16.050 align:middle line:84%
So inside the body there is
the seed, and inside that seed

00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:18.450 align:middle line:90%
there is the body again.

00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:21.670 align:middle line:84%
Fire, air, earth,
water, and space.

00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:24.150 align:middle line:84%
If you do not want
the secret one,

00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:26.850 align:middle line:90%
you cannot have these either.

00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:28.230 align:middle line:90%
Thinkers, listen.

00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:33.300 align:middle line:84%
Tell me what do you know
of that is not in the soul.

00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:37.470 align:middle line:84%
A pitcher full of water
is set down on the water.

00:01:37.470 --> 00:01:41.100 align:middle line:84%
It is water inside
and water outside.

00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:44.670 align:middle line:84%
We must not give it a name,
lest silly people start talking

00:01:44.670 --> 00:01:47.280 align:middle line:90%
again of the body and the soul.

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.140 align:middle line:90%
I will tell you the truth.

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:55.101 align:middle line:84%
Listen to the secret name,
the truth, which is you.

00:01:55.101 --> 00:02:00.510 align:middle line:84%
The secret one counts the
secret name to himself.

00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:03.660 align:middle line:84%
And he is the one
who has made it all.

00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:04.160 align:middle line:90%
