SEE YOUR TRUE SELF

Let your illusions arise when they arise.
Neither follow, nor try to do away with them.
You should not try to make them disappear by force
since they will disappear of themselves with time.

You will fall down into folly
if you try to understand the principle through knowledge
without seeing your true Self.
You will become effortlessly relaxed
if you see your true Self.

Though I couldn't escape from endless waves,
waves and I are not two
once I've turned over the boat by chance that I was on.
