What is - is not, what is not - is

Distinctions such as large and small
have relevance for you no more.
The largest is the smallest too -
here limitations have no place.

What is - is not, what is not - is.
If this is not yet clear to you,
you're still far from the inner truth.
One thing is all, all things are One -
know this and all's whole and complete.

When faith and mind are not separate,
and not separate are mind and faith,
this is beyond all words, all thought.
For here there is no yesterday,
no tomorrow, no today.

When all is seen with equal mind,
to our true-nature we return.
This single mind goes right beyond
all reasons and comparisons."
