- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Do not let pleasure distract you
- From meditation, from the way.
- Free yourself from pleasure and pain.
- For in craving pleasure or in nursing pain
- There is only sorrow.
- Like nothing lest you lose it,
- Lest it bring you grief and fear.
- Go beyond likes and dislikes.
- From passion and desire,
- Sensuousness and lust,
- Arise grief and fear.
- Free yourself from attachment.
- He is pure, and sees.
- He speaks the truth, and lives it.
- He does his own work,
- So he is admired and loved.
- With a determined mind and undesiring heart
- He longs for freedom.
- He is called uddhamsoto --
- "He who goes upstream."
- When a traveler at last comes home
- From a far journey,
- With what gladness
- His family and his friends receive him!
- Even so shall your good deeds
- Welcome you like friends
- And with what rejoicing
- When you pass from this life to the next!
