In all things be a master
Of what you do, say and think.
Be free.
Love and joyfully
Follow the way,
The quiet way to the happy country.
Quietly, surely
Approach the happy country,
The heart of stillness.
Look within--
The rising and falling.
What happiness!
How sweet to be free!
Find friends who love the truth.
Drink deeply.
Live in serenity and joy.
Live in love.
Do your work.
Make an end of your sorrows.
Waken yourself, watch yourself.
And live joyfully.
Like the moon,
Come out from behind the clouds!
Shine!
