- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Thirty-six streams are rushing toward you!
- Desire and pleasure and lust....
- Play in your imagination with them
- And they will sweep you away.
- Powerful streams!
- They flow everywhere.
- Strong wine!
- If you see it spring up,
- Take care!
- Pull it out by the roots.
- Pleasures flow everywhere.
- You float upon them
- And are carried from life to life.
- Like a hunted hare you run,
- The pursuer of desire pursued,
- Harried from life to life.
- O seeker!
- Give up desire.
- Shake off your chains.
- You have come out of the hollow
- Into the clearing.
- The clearing is empty.
- Why do you rush back into the hollow?
- Desire is a hollow
- And people say, "Look!
- He was free.
- But now he gives up his freedom."
