ORAL PILOSOPHY (4)
The Sutra of the Idea
1
An idea is the trace
of something that never stopped moving.
2
The mind names things
to avoid encountering them.
3
To understand
is not to see.
Sometimes, understanding
is the final veil.
4
Order puts everything
in its place.
Clarity needs
no place for anything.
5
Knowledge accumulates.
Seeing begins
when there is nothing left to add.
6
What can be named
can be kept.
What is truly seen
leaves nothing to hold on to.
7
Do not ask
whether you have understood.
See what remains
when the question disappears.
