Turn Off the Tap, You Are Clean
The water is scalding, but you keep scrubbing, trying to wash off the performance before anyone smells the exhaustion on you. You are trying to clean a stain that isn't there.
The light does not need you to be spotless before it enters the room. It is already here, sitting on the tile, waiting for you to stop.
You came from the light, the place where the light comes into being on its own accord. You do not need to manufacture purity to return to your source.
The water cannot wash off what was never there. Turn off the tap.
The light sees you clean.

Gospel of Thomas, John
