Non-duality, Leaning on Each Other
Dr. Lee, Hye Seon (South Korea)
While driving on the highway,
I saw a mountain leaning on a tree.
I saw a tree leaning on the sky.
While sailing the boat,
On the way to Cheongsan-do,
I saw water leaning on droplets.
I saw the sky leaning on a seagull's wing.
The earth leans on seeds to bloom,
And a mother's breast grows as it leans on her baby.
At dusk,
I saw weeds in the field leaning on each other’s shoulders.
On those shoulders, mayflies had settled down,
Falling into a deep sleep.

অ-দ্বৈততা, একে অপরের উপর ঝুঁকে থাকা

হাইওয়েতে গাড়ি চালানোর সময়,
দেখলাম একটা পাহাড় গাছে হেলান দিয়ে আছে।
দেখলাম একটা গাছ আকাশে হেলান দিয়ে আছে।
নৌকা চলার সময়,
চেওংসান-ডো যাওয়ার পথে,
ফোঁটা ফোঁটায় জল পড়তে দেখলাম।
দেখলাম আকাশ একটা শঙ্খচিলের পাখায় হেলান দিয়ে আছে।
পৃথিবী ফুলে ফুলে বীজের উপর হেলান দেয়,
এবং একটি মায়ের স্তন বৃদ্ধি পায় যখন এটি তার শিশুর উপর হেলান দেয়।
সন্ধ্যাবেলায়,
আমি দেখলাম মাঠের আগাছাদের একে অপরের কাঁধে হেলান দেওয়া।
সেই কাঁধে, মাছিরা বসতি স্থাপন করেছিল,
গভীর ঘুমিয়ে পড়ে।
*Non-duality: A world without discrimination and differentiation. From the perspective of interdependence, you and I, existence and non-existence, life and death, beauty and ugliness are fundamentally interconnected as one. The relationship between the one and the many is essentially non-dual, existing within a web of relationships.
About the Poetess:
Poetess Dr. Lee, Hye Seon graduated from the Korean language and literature department of Dongguk University and obtained a doctor of literature degree from Sejong University. She has taught at several universities including Dongguk University. She made her debut in 1981 through the monthly literature Magazine ‘Simunhak’. She writes poetry and literary criticism. She has won Korea Free Literature Prize, Modern Poet Prize, Dongguk Literary Prize, Korea Literary Critics Association Prize (in criticism).
She has published 3 books of poetry including One God, 3 collections of criticism including Metamorphosis of Literature and Dream and Famous Poems Promenade by Lee Hye Seon.
Her early literary trend was based on the sense of history. Rooted in Korea’s traditional emotions and the Buddhist spirit, her poetry demonstrates a strong sense of identity formed by the meeting of temporality and the sense of collective national awareness. Her more recent poetry celebrates cosmic perceptions and an awareness of the transcendental world, undifferentiated sympathy for universal existences including close neighbors, and a world of beautiful rainbows emanating from self-reflections
