Listen, lady Paldarbum, faithful, wealthy maiden


If meditating with the example of
The sky is as easy as you say
Clouds are just the sky's play
So stay within the depths of sky itself


If meditating with the example of
Sun and moon is as easy as you say
Stars and planets are but its play
Settle in the state of the sun and moon


If meditating with the example of
The mountain is as easy as you say
Plants and trees are but its play
So stay right with the mountain itself


If meditating with the example of
The ocean is as easy as you say
Waves are just the ocean's play
Settle within the depth of the ocean itself.


If meditating on your mind itself
Is as easy as you say
Thoughts are but your mind's play
So stay within the depth of mind itself
