Divine Intervention I
[ The morning of the Marriage Event ending, a mysterious textual message, shimmering in gold light, appears within the Hitomi network. It seems to shine from the screen. ]
Accept humiliation as a surprise.
Value great misfortune as your own self.
When you are humble
Attainment is a surprise
And so is loss.
If there is no self, there is no misfortune.
Therefore, if you dedicate your life for the benefit of the world,
You can rely on the world.
If you love dedicating yourself in this way,
You can be entrusted with the world.
Victory is never sweet.
When people are born they are gentle and soft.
At death they are hard and stiff.
When plants are alive they are soft and delicate.
When they die, they wither and dry up.
Therefore the hard and stiff are followers of death.
The gentle and soft are the followers of life.
The softest thing in the world
Will overcome the hardest.
Non-being can enter where there is no space.
Therefore know the benefit of unattached action.
The wordless teaching and unattached action
Are rarely seen.
Let it be said:
Whatever befalls me,
Ne'er shall I forget my love
With whom I slept
In the islands of wild-ducks --
The birds of the offing
Understanding harmony is called the Constant.
Knowing the Constant is called illumination.
Nourishing life is called blessing.
Having control of your breath is called strength
Thus seek harmony that is the Constant
Seek the Perfection of Wisdom within Kannagara.
Know that the Perfection of Wisdom
is the great transcendent mantra
is the great bright mantra,
is the utmost mantra,
is the supreme mantra,
which is able to relieve all suffering
and is true, not false.
So proclaim the Perfection of Wisdom mantra,
proclaim the mantra which says:
Gone,
gone,
gone beyond,
gone all the way beyond,
Awakened!
Gyate gyate, hara gyate,
hara sou gyate boji so wa ka.
