*
Do your hearing
not with your ears
but with your mind.
*
Do your thinking
not with your mind
but with your soul.
*
Let the hearing stay with the ears.
Let the thinking stay with the mind.
*
But what, then, of the soul?
Let it become passively responsive to externals.
That negative state is a staying of the heart.
*
Consider a window…
Through it an empty room
becomes bright with scenery
but the landscape stays without.
