3. First Glimpse of the Ox

If he will but listen intently to everyday sounds, he will come to realization and at that instant see the very Source. These six senses are no different from this true Source. In every activity the Source is manifestly present. It is analogous to the salt in water or the binder in paint. When the inner vision is properly focused, once comes to realize that that which is seen is identical with the true Source.

A nightingale warbles on a twig,
    the sun shines on undulating willows.
There stands the Ox, where could it hide?
That splendid head, those stately horns,
    what artist could portray them?
