The sun reflects in every pot, yet it is never diminished by their breaking. Milk cannot be separated once it is mixed with water. An animal eats and transforms everything within its body. Only the One who knows the secret truly exists, pervading everything inside and out. The fruit of the plantain comes only at the very end. If you search within, you find only hollow emptiness. Those without patience lose heart in vain; their efforts at fruit and flower come to nothing. The Name is like a mirror made ready: the reflection is there, but a film of dirt obscures it. How can the inner form appear when the surface is not clean? Do not increase the torment of merit and sin. Know the secret and stop this empty show. Says Tuka, what more can I say? Must I fall at your feet? Your children, spouse, wealth, and desires: when these are gone, what remains at the end? O mind, abandon this wicked, stubborn habit. This infatuation with worldly pleasures is utterly vain.
