  is this single difference:

  the heart conceals secrets,

  while the mirror does not.

  Everything you see has its roots

  in the unseen world.

  The forms may change,

  yet the essence remains the same.

  Every wondrous sight will vanish,

  every sweet word will fade.

  But do not be disheartened,

  The Source they come from is eternal—

  growing, branching out,

  giving new life and new joy.

  If you knew yourself for even one moment,

  if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face,

  maybe you wouldn’t slumber so deeply in that house of clay.

  Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice!

  For you are the secret Treasure-bearer, and always have been.

  Didn’t you know?
