lyrics

Dancing Ground (Sutra 80)


Sukhe Duhkhe Madhye

That space is bad
This space is good
That space is bad
This space is good
The ride is rough
Or the going is smooth
The ride is rough
Or the going is smooth

We are thrown into suffering
We are thrown into joy

Beloved soul mate,
find the space in the center
The shimmering spaciousness
encompassing all opposites

The center is the dancing ground
The center is the dancing ground
Dancing ground

Sukhe Duhkhe Madhye

That space is sad
This space is sweet
That space is sad
This space is sweet
The ride is fast
Or the going is slow
The ride is fast
Or the going is slow

We are thrown into suffering
We are thrown into joy

Here the essences of creation are at play:
Earth, water, fire, air and space
And the senses that perceive them
Earth, water, fire, air and space

Na chittam nikshipet duhkhe
Na sukhe va parikshipet
Bhairavi jnayatam madhye
Kim tattvam avashishyate
