  But follow the awakened
  And set yourself free.

  Who masters himself and minds the dharma.

  Tastes sweet, sweet as honey.

  Not in the sky,
  Not in the midst of the ocean,
  Nor deep in the mountains,
  Nowhere

  Know the sweet joy of the way.

  And to keep company with the wise.

  Who travels the road with the fool.

  From meditation, from the way.
  Free yourself from pleasure and pain.
