““You say you want to bathe when the waves subside. Is there an end to the endless mind? You say,“Let me quench my thirst, and then I’ll find the truth.” Why should thirst be quenched? How can you know truth? Is there an end? All the days you have a body, why should longing cease? How can you find joy? Is there an end? You say, “After I know what lies ahead, I’ll forget what was before.” Can you know what lies ahead? How can you forget what was before? Is there an end? That goodness that comes of knowing how to reach god— you won’t find it in your wildest dreams. Is there an end?””
