Wings of the Soul: Poems of Akha: The Spiritual Poet of India, Translated by Krishnaditya

"There is neither a sinner nor a virtuous one."
One who understands this is a true saint.
The wheel of Time turns by its own nature;
And thus sponteneous is the process of creation, dissolution.
Knowing this, Akha, go and dissolve yourself;
And avoid the babble of repeated trips.
