Rise and Fall

When a music instrument is played, a sound arises.
There is no place where it came from.
And there is no place it disappears to.

In the same way, all things and their parts,
material and mental, rise and fall.
There is only rising and falling;
there is no riser or faller.

Likewise, there is Enlightenment but no one enlightened -
it is one who has no self,
who realises non-self,
who frees him-"self".
