The way of the world is illusion
I strive after true reality.

I wander in the mountains alone.

I renounce for the sake of the faith any I may have.
External things are illusion
I contemplate the mind.
Distinctive thought is illusion
I follow after sapience.
Conditional truth is illusion
I dispose the absolute truth.
'The printed book is illusion
I meditate upon the counsels of the ear-whispered tradition.

I study at length that which is unfeigned tradition'.
Both birth and death are illusion
I contemplate the deathless truth.
Ordinary knowledge is illusion
I exercise myself in wisdom.
The delight of mental thought is illusion
I dwell in the state of reality.
