| The Truth - As Understood by Ananda |
| The Great One puts it there, in the form of- a dagger. It stings and burns rips and pulls, until- it is let out. Like the water...Which one day is a stream and the next a sea. As your house, your possessions, your family and your pride float away; You are left alone to cry - to scream -to pound fists and say "Why must it be...?" And when your neighbor stares at you with broadened eyes and asks "What is this pain that causes you to be doubled over, crying, screaming and pounding fists?" You must tell to him All that you have been shown and say "It is the truth... and the great one put it there." |
