Verse 13


To come directly into harmony with this reality

just simply say when doubt arises, "Not two."

In this "Not two" nothing is separate,

nothing is excluded.

No matter when or where,

enlightenment means entering this truth.

And this truth is beyond extension or

diminution in time or space;

in it a single thought is ten thousand years.
