Sutra 24

This body is made of earth and gold,
Sky and stars, rivers and oceans,
Masquerading as muscle and bone.

Every substance is here:
Diamonds and silver, magical elixirs,
Ambrosia that gives visions.
Herbs that nourish and heal.
The foundation of the planet,
Immortal magnetic iron,
Circulating in the blood.

Every element in you loves the others:
Earth loves rain, sky loves sun,
Sun loves the space it shines through.
Space loves everyone equally.

In meditation, luxuriate in
This deep and simple truth.
Every cell is an organ of sense
Infused with majesty.
