Empty the self completely;
Embrace perfect peace.
The world will rise and move;
Watch it return to rest.
All the flourishing things
Will return to their source.
This return is peaceful;
It is the tide of nature,
An eternal decay and renewal.
Accepting this brings contentment,
Ignoring it brings misery.
Who accepts nature's tide becomes all-cherishing;
Being all-cherishing he becomes impartial;
Being impartial he becomes magnanimous;
Being magnanimous he becomes natural;
Being natural he becomes one with flow;
Being one with flow he becomes immortal:
Though his body will decay, flow will not.
