Does the winged life destroy;
He who kisses the Joy as it flies,
Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.

“With his vigour grown strong, his mind should be placed in samadhi;
For if thought be distracted we lie in the fangs of the passions…
Fain would I dwell in a deserted sanctuary, beneath a tree, or in a cave,
In noble disregard for all, and never looking back on what I left.
Fain would I dwell in spacious regions owned by no one,
And there, a homeless wanderer, follow my own mind.”
-Nagasena

Through stillness joined to insight true,
His passions are annihilated.
Stillness must first of all be found.
That springs from disregarding worldly satisfactions.
-Nagasena
