545. Heart-essence

Father, my Father,
I have now caught You tightly.
Just tell me in brief
The actual meaning of heart-essence,
And then I shall let You go.

“Child, My child,
The heart-essence
Of the aspiring earth
Is the surrender-tree
Of the Supreme’s Nectar-delight.

The heart-essence
Of the sailing Heaven
Is the silence-tree
Of the Supreme’s Nectar-delight.

The heart-essence
Of the liberating Supreme
Is the surrender-silence-perfection Tree
Of the Absolute Supreme’s Nectar-delight.”
