For the awakened ones,
The sorrows of this world are over.
Though they possess finite bodies,
They remain united with the Infinite.
Their hearts know no anxiety.
They are said to be free even in this life.
- Shankara

I live far off in the wild
Where moss and woods are thick and plants perfumed
I can see mountains rain or shine
And never hear market noise
I light a few leaves in my stove to heat tea
To patch my robe I cut off a cloud
Lifetimes seldom fill a hundred years
Why suffer for profit and fame?

I live far off in the wild
All the mountains, all the rivers
Such a beautiful landscape!
During endless eons, in each life,
This world has appeared...
No amount of praise could be enough.
It is not the product of anyone’s strength;
Every single aspect of it
Arises from your own mind.
