The Inward Touch

: You've mastered the art of understanding yourself quite well, haven't you?
In this race, you've undoubtedly advanced far ahead—one must admire that.
Did you ever imagine that you would fall under the spell of an entirely different grand illusion?
In the intimate understanding of your heart,
how acceptable do you consider
the emergence of a third person?
Will this not diminish your resolve?
You have repeatedly failed to acknowledge the existence of emotion,
yet in the end, you had to surrender to the overwhelming pull of this grand illusion.

: The sharpness of your vision has been replaced by her tears—
perhaps that is why this enchantment has consumed you entirely.
But have you discovered yourself in the dullness of her gaze?

: Her profound gaze has awakened supreme wonder in my mind.
But this confession alone is insufficient
to make her surrender to the spell of the great dissolution.

: Only your touch can awaken her pulse.
Will you again evade that moment of love?
If you cannot avoid it, you must face the fire of separation—
and surely you are not prepared to bear the weight of that feeling.

You do not wish to immerse yourself needlessly in the pain of dialogue,
so why have you made yourself dependent on her love—
if you cannot embrace separation with open arms?

: Love is not a game of the mind—
surely you have not forgotten this?
You must descend into the depths of the heart—
and that is utterly inevitable.

I am ready to accept her.
I have no doubt left in my mind.
If separation's embrace
can preserve even a fragment of her love,
then I am certainly prepared to accept it.

: Have you then forgotten
that unchangeable promise of this life?
Whose destiny was spread across your intimate feelings—
forgetting that, can you love someone else?
Ignoring that vow, can you truly dedicate yourself to genuine love?

How did you bring this self-destructive decision to your heart?
You cannot give a third person place in your heart—
you were pledged to yourself.
Have you forgotten?

: No, it is no longer possible to turn back.
I want her.
She has merged into my existence—
I want to keep her beside me by any means.
I am completely unprepared
to separate her from my inner vision.

: You can do it if you wish—
you have that strength.
Undoubtedly, you are about to be stirred
by the emergence of the purest feeling—
cherish her.
The echo of this feeling will carry you to your next destination.
But know this—
it is impossible for her to separate herself from this grand illusion.
You can certainly make her
a witness to your love.
