Today we celebrate the culmination of a couple things I stare with #12, Max jione with #35 and Jay K with #50.
#12 "The Senses"
Colors blind the eyes of men.
Sounds deafen the ears of men.
Flavors dull the tongues of men.
Thoughts will lead a mind to turmoil.
Desires and greed will lead a life to turmoil.
Therefore, the Master satisfies her inner vision
Allowing external cravings to come and go.
#35 "The Senses Distract"
Those who know Tao cannot be harmed.
They removed resistance and peace remains,
Even amid great pain and danger.
Exciting the senses will distract people,
While they see Tao as a silly waste of time.
If you look for it you will see nothing
If you listen for it, you will hear nothing
If you use it, it will support you forever.
#50 "Awareness of Death"
Every being is entrusted with life for a time
However, it is only a prelude to death.
Some live as optimists, embracing life,
Others live as pessimists, embracing death,
Some even live in preservation,
Passively living, advancing toward death.
The Master lives aware of her appointment with death,
This brings her to knowing Real Life.
She cannot be harmed by rhinoceros or man
Her movements flow from her being.
She cannot be fooled by illusion or hallucination
Her actions flow from her being.
She has freed herself of all separateness
Even the distinction between life and death.
