Two BirdsPainting by Rev. Fa Ming Shakya, OHY
"Thou, Brahman Immortal,
And thou, woven of clay (Two beings, yet one.) - Like two beautiful birds, Golden of plumage, Companions inseparable, Perched high up on the branches Of the selfsame tree - As man, though tastest The sweet fruits of the tree, The sweet and bitter fruits; But as Brahman, master of Maya, Thou remainest unseen, Immobile, Calmly observing." - From the Svetasvatara Upanishad
Translated by Swami Prabhavananda and Frederick Manchester
