4. Translation

Satisfied with a little, afraid of the vast,
Narrow are the confines
Of man’s boasting and vainglory.
Always preaching, always boasting and bragging,
Turning the ear deaf.
Seven inner seas are now wild and churning;
Each life is tired and sad.
Satisfaction and fulfilment only a dream.
The entire world is filled with suffering and conflict.
The silent, the liberated and the realised
Are rich in their heavenly treasure.
Let man’s inner moon of infinite Light
Get total satisfaction in the sacrifice divine.
