I'm reading a different translation by Thomas Byrom - "The Heart of Awareness". It's said it is not as literal a translation, but more poetic in the sense of an English translation.
I thought it would be interesting to post several verses now and then as juxtaposition to the more literal translation by Bart Marshall.
1.1 - O Master,
Tell me how to find
Detachment, wisdom, and freedom!
1.2 - Child,
If you wish to be free,
Shun the poison of the senses,
Seek the nectar of truth,
Of love and forgiveness,
Simplicity and happiness.
1.3 - Earth, fire and water,
The wind and the sky-
You are none of these.
If you wish to be free,
Know you are the Self,
The witness of all these,
The heart of awareness.
1.4 - Set your body aside.
Sit in your own awareness.
You will at once be happy,
Forever still,
Forever free.
