3045-3054

  • Collectedness is not the result of bodily multitude: know that body, like name, is built on (empty) air. 3045
  • If there were any collectedness in the heart of the mouse, a number of mice would be collected (united) by a feeling of indignation,
  • And, rushing up like assassins, they would throw themselves on a cat without (giving her) any respite.
  • One would tear out her eyes in conflict (with her), while another would rip her ears with its teeth,
  • And another make a hole in her side: there would be no way of escape for her from the united party.
  • But the soul of the mouse has no collectedness: at the miaul of a cat (all) its wits fly out of its soul. 3050
  • The mouse is paralysed by the wily cat, (even) if the numbers of the mice amount to a hundred thousand.
  • What cares the butcher for the numerous flock (of sheep)? How can abundance of consciousness prevent (the approach of) slumber?
  • He (God) is the Lord of the kingdom: He gives collectedness to the lion, so that he springs on the herd of onagers.
  • A hundred thousand savage and courageous onagers are as naught before the onset of the lion.
