『心偈』53

「扉アリ 入ルヤ 出ズルヤ」

           柳宗悦『心偈』

There's a door. Do you come in or go out?

 

At a glance there's a sign on the door.

It says " In or out."

It is a marvelous question of Zen meditation.

A man come in, A man go out.

A man stand still, can't  decide himself.

Will a sign tell him to come in?

Does it teach for him "coming in is going out, going out is coming in."

Does it tell "A gate of coming in is a gate of going out, a gate of going out is a gate of coming in?"

 Then Does it press "coming in is knocking, going out is also knocking?"

In that case, is it a door of in and out is non-duality?

When I stand in front of the door, how should I treat me?

It is said "A main street no gate" isn't a world of lost a gate.

There is in and out, we gaze depth of a stage of falling off.

When we think about it, there is a summary of the all question that is written a sign.

 

補足

A sign on the door says, "in, out".

(『民藝』544号、1998年4月号、内海禎子訳)

『心偈』52

「歩キナン 大道ヲ」

          柳宗悦『心偈』

 

Let's go for a main street.

 

A level main street is prepared with your life.

All capital connects with level main street.

Because men are ignorance, they go away from a side road, lose a narrow way, take a pain over a steep mountain path.

There isn't guarantee of safety, not getting rid of danger.

And they often go a way alone.

You can go a level main street under sunshine, looking up blue sky, with many people and striding leisurely.

Let's walk with a level main street that is broad and public ownership.

『心偈』51

「母ヨトナ 聲ヲ待タジナ 汝ガ母ハ」

             柳宗悦『心偈』

 

It's the mother. You don't have to wait before you call your mother.

 

The purest love that can seem to be on earth is mother's love.

Her purity is just going to disappear "me."

If a mother doesn't show this purity, we can't call her a mother.

Children call her "Mother," she fills her answer in mind before she hear children's voice.

So children ask in her answer.

Mercy go ahead of agony.

In Bible "The sad person is cheered up." In fact a fact don't allow even feeling sad without being cheered up.

If you can understand this truth, you can't be except living of thanks.

『心偈』50

「打テヤ モロ手ヲ」 

          柳宗悦『心偈』

Why don't you clap your hands?

 

You had better always see a charming thing before your eyes.

There isn't happiness more than that.

"Morote" means both hands.

Why aren't you pleased clapping your hands?

Don't you eulogize?

When you come to think of it, how many the scene that you should praise it for us will be prepared?

A brilliant thing appear herein right now.

Why don't you see it?

Anytime men should have a principal image in your mind.

You had better have objects of that.

In the upper part Shakamuniーbutsu, in the bottom part there is a cloth or a vase.

If you can have a thing that you praise and clap your hands, your life is shining.

Because from this people connect closely with relations of those are modesty, reflection, devotion, cleanness and a lot of virtue.

『心偈』49

「行キナン 行クヘ知ラデモ」

           柳宗悦『心偈』

Let's go however you don't know where you are going.

 

Life of person can compare to journey.

Living is walking endless roads.

Where we go to?  For what do you keep on traveling?

If there is capital to aim, you are happy to walk than the trip there is no goal. 

But who can know what is capital?

Then If you have known this is capital, will journey end?

Though I aim to capital, then are I and capital always separate each other?

Moreover If I can know capital is such and such, is the capital a thing that I can know?

Is journey of heart approaching the depth which I can't know?

Though a point to aim isn't sure, we keep walking is a life of man?

We shouldn't be stupid, but how does cleverness have the power?

Walk to capital isn't that we go to capital, but the capital is equal meaning of walking.

At least we walk  thoroughly, capital will be waiting for us.

Walking and capital isn't separate two.

In philosophy there is an argument of teleology, it will be imperfect. Because an act becomes the purpose.

『心偈』48

「色ソメツ 心ソメツ」

         柳宗悦『心偈』

 As you dye color, the heart is dyed it.

 

The world of dyed textile is the world of color.

In fact it is the world of hearts more than that.

Though we dye textile, we dye our hearts more than that.

The tone of color is changed by hearts in various ways.

Between honest man and unfaithful man, the color is separated right and left.

Between way to work beside yourself and way to work for personal benefits, the color is different in terms of depth, shallowness, warmth and coolness.

 A color is enduring from washing is because of man's skill who dye the textile.

So we dye textile, we dye our hearts more over.

Thinking about this, if you do what kind of work, everyone repent yourself.

Man don't lie a color.

This poetry was originally started from "Kokoro semetu iro sometu" for dyed textile of zenzo oikawa.
