XXVIII.
You would come from the house of the good,
if only you had not come into decay.
If only you had not come into decay,
into the filth and deceit of this world.
If only you have not come into decay,
if only you are not looked upon with the eyes.


If only I have really come,
if only I have come into appearance:
Your eyes are eyes of lies,
my eyes are eyes of truth.
The eyes of the lie obscure
and do not see the truth.


If you want to see, Rühā,
go, see the house of my acquaintance,
the house of my acquaintance,
who know of me that I dwell among them,
in the heart of my friends,
in the mind of my disciples.


And life is victorious.
