In the infinite ocean of myself the world boat drifts here and there

1. In the infinite ocean of myself the world boat drifts here and

there, moved by its own inner wind. I am not put out by that.

2. Whether the world wave of its own nature rises or disappears in

the infinite ocean of myself, I neither gain nor lose anything by that.

3. It is in the infinite ocean of myself that the mind-creation

called the world takes place. I am supremely peaceful and formless,

and I remain as such.

4. My true nature is not contained in objects, nor does any object

exist in it, for it is infinite and spotless. So it is unattached,

desireless and at peace, and I remain as such.

5. I am pure consciousness, and the world is like a magician's

show. How could I imagine there is anything there to take up or reject?
