From the Distant Lands of the Mind
THE SUTRA OF ORIGIN
46
Origin is not a beginning,
but the first thing the mind seeks to put in its place.
47
The thinker observes that a beginning
is an invention of order.
48
What happens
needs no reason.
49
To ask “why?”
is already to take a step beyond the moment of emergence.
50
The world was not born.
The world emerged.
51
Emergence has no intention.
Only continuity.
52
The thinker does not seek the first cause.
The thinker sees the chain.
53
Where there is no purpose,
the mind invents meaning.
54
Meaning does not reside in things,
but in the way they are perceived.
