lives ago, worlds ago
the buddha has taken refuge in me
searching nirvana in samsara
knowing reality and maya
he came to search in me.
i welcomed him with wonder
as i welcome pure life, genuine quest
he drunk my nectar
quenched his thirst and left
with new knowledge
since then
there is a secret in my heart
that keeps us together yet apart
his thirst became mine
my knowledge became his
as he wished
once in a yuga we meet
to exchange knowledge for thirst
until thirst will become knowledge
and knowledge will become
truth.
The Sage: Are you on a spiritual trip, or something...?
Mira: If by trip you mean journey, yes I am.
