No longer whipped about,
you find the sure alignment
that settles you, upward and solid,
fully at one with what sustains you
and gives abiding joy

Now that you know,
you will no more be fooled
by tallies of conditions
prerequisite to peace

Peace flows into you
and from you. Intelligence and calm
hold guard over all you love,
over your entire realm.
