It was one dark night

Suddenly pluged into my head

one brilliant star

and whispered to my ears

The glittering stars in the sky are seen

because your eyes are seeing them

the rain beating against the windows is heard

not that you are hearing them

but that your ears are hearing them

I thought it was I who looked at the stars

and listened to the rain beating against the window

But now with my eyes and ears open

I realize I am the stars and rain

Oh, the brilliant light shines once more

and I realize I am neither the starlight nor the

raindrops

Now that I understand all

and am awakened to my True Nature

words are too shabby to convey this

Outside the window in the sky

still glittering are the stars

and endlessly falling down is rain.
