Translator:
I am the sweet fragrance in the earth and the brilliance in the fire, the life in all beings, and I am the austerity of ascetics.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: he is the fragrance in earth, brilliance in fire, life in all beings, and austerity in ascetics, continuing the same pattern of finding an essential quality hidden inside many different phenomena.
In life: this way of seeing, essence within form, is a genuinely useful lens for noticing what actually matters underneath a surface presentation.
Teaching: practice this specific lens on people you meet, look past their surface presentation for the essential quality underneath, character, intention, effort, rather than stopping at appearance.
