All our desire is a grain of wheat,
Our whole personality is the milling-building.
But this mill grinds without knowing about it.
The millstone is your heavy body.
What makes the stone turn is your thought-river.
The stone says: I don’t know why we do all this,
but the river has knowledge!
If you ask the river, it says,
I don’t know why I flow.
All I know is that a human opened the gate!
And if you ask the person, he says:
All I know, oh gobbler of bread, is that if this stone
stops going around, there’ll be no bread for your
bread-soup!
All this grinding goes on, and no one has any
knowledge!
So just be quiet, and one day turn
to God, and say: “What is this about bread-making?”
