Union of self with physical things,
Is perennial source of pains and ills, With all thy force of thought, word and deed, Give up thy greed for outer things. verse. 54.
I am not the death, nor disease, Neither young, adult, nor old, All these things belong to flesh, Nothing is there to fear and mourn.
verse. 56.
Ages have past and era rolled, Still no rest from outer quests, Now let me turn to inner self, For tried old things, no use of quest.
verse. 61.
