I.
Muffle the mind’s plaintive cries
With silence’s silky shawl
Drown the lies life supplies
In the Divine’s soothing waterfall
II.
Stare deeply into the abyss
Free the body of intricacies subtler
Starve desires until they desist
Play the merchant ne’er the customer
III.
To weather life’s maelstrom
Purge thyself in effigy
Flagellate the ego with thorns
Pyres immolate self-pity
