2. DISCOVERING THE FOOTPRINTS

ALONG THE RIVER BANK UNDER THE TREES,
I DISCOVER FOOTPRINTS!
EVEN UNDER THE FRAGRANT GRASS I SEE HIS PRINTS.
DEEP IN REMOTE MOUNTAINS THEY ARE FOUND.
THESE TRACES NO MORE CAN BE HIDDEN
THAN ONE'S NOSE LOOKING HEAVENWARD.

COMMENT:
UNDERSTANDING THE TEACHING, I SEE THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE BULL.
THEN I LEARN THAT, JUST AS MANY UTENSILS ARE MADE FROM ONE METAL,
SO TOO ARE MYRIAD ENTITIES MADE OF THE FABRIC OF SELF.
UNLESS I DISCRIMINATE, HOW WILL I PERCEIVE THE TRUE FROM THE UNTRUE?
NOT YET HAVING ENTERED THE GATE,
NEVERTHELESS I HAVE DISCERNED THE PATH.
