7.1
For one whose search has
ended,
who is free of sorrow, who
is free in every way,
who is liberated from all
bonds,
the fever of life as broken.
7.2
The Awakened One moves on
and delights in no place.
Like a swan migrating from
lake to lake,
he abandons every home.
7.3
One who know the source of
food
has no desire to hoard it.
Realizing emptiness, he is
free and unconditioned.
Like a bird in flight,
his movements leave no
trace.
7.4
One whose desires are
extinguished
cares nothing even for food.
Realizing emptiness, he is
free and unconditioned.
Like a bird in flight,
his movements leave no
trace.
7.5
To one who controls his
senses
as a charioteer controls his
horses,
who is free of pride and
obsessions,
even the gods pay homage.
7.6
Accepting as the ground of
earth,
anchored as the gatepost of
a city,
tranquil as a pond free of
silt – for such a one,
wandering through birth and
death is finished.
7.7
His thoughts are stilled.
His words are stilled.
His work has come to an end.
He has realized perfection.
7.8
One who has realized the
uncreated Void
has no need of faith and
belief.
He has severed all bonds,
broken all links,
and completely let go.
He is indeed supreme among
men.
7.9
Whether village or forest,
valley or mountain,
the Awakened One delights in
where he is.
7.10
He delights in forests other
people shun.
Free of preferences and
passion,
he delights in everything.
