The Revelation of the All

Siddhartha Gautama
What is the All?

Siddhartha Gautama
Simply the eye & forms,

Siddhartha Gautama
ear & sounds,

Siddhartha Gautama
nose & aromas,

Siddhartha Gautama
tongue & flavors,

Siddhartha Gautama
body & tactile sensations,

Siddhartha Gautama
intellect & ideas.

Siddhartha Gautama
This, monks, is called the All.

Siddhartha Gautama
Anyone who would say,

Siddhartha Gautama
Repudiating this All, I will describe another,'

Siddhartha Gautama
if questioned on what exactly might be the grounds for his statement,

Siddhartha Gautama
would be unable to explain,

Siddhartha Gautama
and furthermore, would be put to grief.

Siddhartha Gautama
Why?

Siddhartha Gautama
Because it lies beyond range.
