53
Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation
Ah, questioning Friend, what is it you would know, from whence Existence came, and how Existence stays? This is the Cross you'll carry, as long as you will cast the ruby of the present in the dust heap of the past. It was not born, nor does it ever die; it from no place came, nor of anything was it; unborn, eternal, everlasting, deathless, it will remain, though all should pass away. This is the Secret that the Wise alone can solve, how existence the thread doth cut, which perchance divides those four. The finite from the infinite, and the false from every true.
