12.1
Becoming first intolerant of action,
then of excessive speech,
then of thought itself,
I come to be here.
12.2
Neither sounds nor other sense perceptions
attract my attention.
Even the Self is unperceived.
The mind is free,
undistracted, one-pointed.
And here I am.
12.3
Effort is required to concentrate a distracted mind
superimposed with illusion.
Knowing this, I remain here.
12.4
Nothing to reject, nothing to accept.
No joy, no sorrow.
Lord God
I am here.
12.5
The four stages of life,
life without stages,
meditation,
renunciation,
objects of mind—
nothing but distractions.
I am forever here.
12.6
Doing and not-doing both arise from ignorance.
I know this.
And I am here.
12.7
Thinking of the unthinkable
One unavoidably conjures thought.
I choose no-thought and remain here.
12.8
Blessed is he who attains this by effort.
Blessed is he who is such by nature.
