Neither in nor away,

The state of mind of no-one!

--

Neither in the world, 

Nor Away from it,

Neither indulging in,

Nor withdrawn from,

Running away from it.

I have but resigned, 

To the state of acceptance, 

Let what comes uninvited, 

Let what goes away unasked,

I neither request nor suggest. 

Though I welcome all,

Whatever comes to me,

Whoever comes to me,

Happily say good bye! to, 

Whatever goes away.

Whoever goes away.

For I do know well,

Nothing is going to stay,

Nothing is going to abide.

Nor even the image,

That I have made, Of myself,

For there is no such image, 

For I claim nothing as mine.

I'm, but nothing is my own!

I do let what comes,

Let what goes away.

I'm not concerned,

For I have ever to stay!
