Let yourself go completely just like
a boat floating on the river;
you do not have to row the boat,
just let it go loose;
you are not to swim,
just to float,
then the river itself takes you to the ocean.
The ocean is very near –
but only for those who float but do not swim.
Do not be afraid of drowning
because that fear makes you swim –
and the truth is that he who drowns
himself in God is saved for ever;
and do not have a goal,
for he who has a goal begins to swim.
Remember always –
wherever one reaches, that is the destination,
he who makes God his goal goes astray.
Wherever the mind is free from all goals,
there alone is God.
