Enlightenment Is Not an Experience that Happens to Us

Thursday 17 February 2022

Freely Give Our Self Away

A man who is translating ‘I Am’ into the Chinese asks for clarification on the couplet – ‘I gave away everything, but I am never diminished’. He asks why Rupert used the phrase ‘give away’. Rupert suggests we should never question a poet about the words they choose. We should read the words and allow them to sink into to us. Referring to the couplet, we continually and freely give our self away, like a tree that gives its flowers and its fruits.
