The Poets of the Powers: Freedom, Magic, and Renewal, Translated by Kamil V. Zvelebil

Like the drops of water that will not adhere to the leaf of the lotus
such is the desire of the world
Push it away leave it and
worship and adore adore o dancing snake
the feet of the dazzling
blazing brilliant white light
shining everywhere
