How do you interpret a poem like this?

[bkadoctaj]

In body there exists no soul.
The mind is not real at all.
Now try on me thy flashing steel,
As if it cuts the wind of Spring, I feel.

- Seng-Chao

[Bluntzilla420]

It is a supernatural piece of writing, stressing a type of existentialism that few understand. It is really thought-provoking...who hasn't wondered whether the body and the mind are just facets of another dimension we will never encounter?

Check out my new thread on Seng-Chao. I'm glad someone had something to say about his poem. His treatise is another matter entirely.

EDIT: And as per your signature, I've also been taken. By Salvia Divinorum.
