You must have the skill to swim
over the waves of joy and grief,
of pain and profit.

You must be the master of the art
of being fully at ease, perfectly calm and unaffected,
whatever may happen to the body or senses or mind,
they are all inert when they are not urged
by the inner ‘I’ which alone is intelligence,
awareness. Learn this skill of achieving
the ‘maintaining inner peace’, the art
of being ever aware of the atma (soul)
as the inner reality, and then you can
safely gyrate in the world, as fast as you care.
