Shodoka – Song of Awakening
True reality is the essence and the original source, while divine powers are merits. We like the merits and dislike the essence. We love to receive a salary, we don’t love the work; we love the reward, we don’t love the effort.
Whether we ever have our own song of awakening as expressed in the Shodoka, if we manage to keep close to the mind that seeks the Way, we are doing well here.
