"When you see a dense field of wheat, do you think how many seeds had to die in order for them to sprout? Then they harvest the wheat, it becomes food and returns to the earth. To perish as a germ, or to shine in full bloom: it doesn't really matter. "Whatever": this is the true name of existence. For everyday life, this teaching is invalid. But you, who have reached the point of complete hopelessness: if you are uncertain about anything, before you look for a solution, remember: It doesn't matter.

When you see a dense field of wheat, do you think how many seeds had to die in order for them to sprout? Then they harvest the wheat, it becomes food and returns to the earth. To perish as a germ, or to shine in full bloom: it doesn't really matter. "Whatever": this is the true name of existence. For everyday life, this teaching is invalid. But you, who have reached the point of complete hopelessness: if you are uncertain about anything, before you look for a solution, remember: It doesn't matter.
""Ha látod a sűrű búzatáblát, gondolsz-e arra, mennyiféle magnak kellett elpusztulnia, hogy ezek kikelhessenek? Aztán learatják a búzát, táplálék lesz és visszakerül a földbe. Csíraként elpusztulni, vagy kivirulva tündökölni: tulajdonképpen mindegy. "Mindegy": ez a lét igazi neve. A mindennapi élet számára ez a tanítás érvénytelen. De te, ki a teljes reménytelenségig eljutottál: ha bármiben bizonytalan vagy, mielőtt megoldást keresnél, jusson eszedbe: Mindegy."
