Joseph Knecht's Posthumous Writings

Unrest drove him to his feet once more. If there was no rest in this accursed round-dance, if his one most acute desire could not be fulfilled, then he might just as well fill his gourd again and bring it to this old man who had sent him on this errand, although he did not really have any right of command over him. It was a service that had been asked of him. It was an assignment. He might as well obey and carry it out. That was better than sitting here and pondering methods of self destruction. altogether, obeying and serving were better and far easier, seemlier and far more harmless, than commanding and taking responsibility. That much he knew. Very well, Dasa, take the gourd, fill it carefully with water, and bring it to your master!

when he reached the hut, the master received him with a strange look, a slightly questioning, half-compassionate, half amused look of complicity - such a look as an older boy might have for a younger one whom he sees returning from a strenuous and somewhat shameful adventure, a test of courage that has been assigned to him. This herdsman prince, this poor fellow who had stumbled in here, was only coming back from the spring, where he had been for water, and had been gone no more than fifteen minutes. But still he was also coming from a dungeon, had lost a wife, a son, and a principality, had completed a human life and had caught a glimps of the revolving wheel. The chances were that this young man had already been wakened once or several times before, and had breathed a mouthful of reality, for otherwise he would not have come here and stayed so long. But now he seemed to have been properly awakened and become ripe for setting out on the long journey. It would take a good many years just to teach this young man the proper posture and breathing.

By this look alone, this look which contained a trace of benevolent sympathy and the hint of a relationship that had come into being between them, the relationship between master and disciple - by this look alone the yogi accepted the disciple. This one look banished the fruitless thoughts from the disciples head. It bound him in discipline and service. There is no more to be told about Dasa's life, for all the rest took place in a realm beyond pictures and stories. He never again left the forest.

Daphne Descends

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more"
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight

The orchestration and the dream is clear


The Best Sounding Headphones Ever
by Garret on Jul 22nd, 2005 at 10:16 PM:

The MDR-7506's are the best sounding headphones in the world. Don't waste extra money on a pair of studio headphones that offer extra features and other nonsense. I work in an electronics store and I can't believe some studio headphones go for $300+ and dont sound as defined, crisp, deep, and bright as these do. The signal output of these headphones is a COMPLETELY Flat frequency response. People who are used to their "studio" headphones that offer head pounding bass will be thoroughly surprised to hear what true bass sounds like. Programs like iTunes and such don't even have EQ settings for frequencies low enough for the range of these babys. Muddy, head pounding bass is unneccessary, and after listening to your favorite songs on these, you will hear what they TRULY are meant to sound like, because odds are, the track may have been mixed using the MDR-7506's, as these are industry standard for music production. Must be heard to be believed. Highest Recommendation.
