The moment that you are with yourself,

you will be a prey to a gnat;

and the moment that you are selfless,

the elephant will be the game you hunt.

當你和你自己在一起時，

你就會是一隻小蟲捕食的對象；

大象將會是你打獵的遊戲。

The moment that you are with yourself,

you are under the clouds of sorrow;

and the moment that you are selfless,

the moon will come to your side.

你就在悲傷的雲霧底下；

當你無我時，

月亮就會來到你身邊。

your beloved will depart;

and the moment that you are selfless,

you will taste the beloved’s wine.

你的至愛將會離開；

you would feel the chill of November;

and the moment that you are selfless,

winter would blossom like spring.

All of your restless is due

to your seeking restfulness.

Become a tireless seeker,

so that restfulness will seek you.

你在尋求平靜。

成為一個孜孜不倦的探尋者，

那時平靜將會來找你。

to your seeking pleasure.

Abandon pleasures, and austerity

would become a pleasure to you.

If you didn’t, all wishes would

come to you like offerings.

Love all of the Beloved’s ways,

not just Her affection,

so that the coquettish Beloved

would come to you as a desperate lover.

愛所有至愛之路，

不只是她的情愛，

風情萬種的至愛

就會像絕望的戀人來到你這裡。
