Dervishes
You have heard of the ocean of nonexistence.
Try continually to give yourself to that ocean.
Every workshop has its foundations
set on that emptiness.
The master of all masters works with nothing.
The more such nothing comes into your work,
the more the presence will be there.
Dervishes gamble everything.
They lose and win the other,
the emptiness which animates this.
We have talked so much.
Remember what we have not said.
And keep working. Laziness and disdain
are not devotions. Your effort
will bring a result.
As dawn lightens, blow out the candle.
Dawn is in your eyes now.

Derviches
Has escuchado sobre el océano de no-existencia.
Continuamente intenta entregarte a ese océano.
Cada taller asienta sus cimientos en ese vacío.
El maestro de todos los maestros trabaja sin nada.
Habrá más presencia mientras más se exprese esa nada en tu trabajo.
Los derviches arriesgan todo.
Pierden y ganan lo otro,
el vacío que da vida a esto.
Hemos hablado tanto.
Recuerda lo que no hemos dicho.
Y sigue trabajando. La flojera y el desprecio no son devociones. Tu esfuerzo te dará resultados.
Cuando el amanecer se aclara, apaga la vela.
Ahora el alba está en tus ojos.

At the dawn of awakening to our oneness with the source of all reality it is then time to retire from the slicing and dicing reality into little pieces with judgments and labels.
