Ten Bulls, The Bull Transcended


7. The Bull Transcended

Astride the bull, I reach home.
I am serene. The bull too can rest.
The dawn has come. In blissful repose,
Within my thatched dwelling I have abandoned the whip and rope.

Comment: All is one law, not two. We only make the bull a temporary subject. It is as the relation of rabbit and trap, of fish and net. It is as gold and dross, or the moon emerging from a cloud. One path of clear light travels on throughout endless time.

The moon reflects the sun, stillness reflects thunder, Life reflects spirit .

The bull is the eternal principle of life. The ten bulls represent sequent steps in the realization of one's true nature.
