natural state...

in what is called knowledge

the man of ignorance awakens 

to himself 

he then is like himself completely

but without suffering 

he is like himself completely 

in body and personality

but without depression and anxiety

and restlessness

he is like himself completely

but without sorrow or burden or cares

he is like himself completely

but set free of seeking 

he is like himself completely

but not apart from pure life any longer 

he is like himself completely

but birth and death cannot touch

him any longer 

he is like himself completely

but shorn of the false 

he is like himself completely 

but there is no longer an *i* 

there that is wanting and desiring 

he is not stripped of love and compassion

or pure intelligence 

these shine more due to the confusion

being destroyed 

he is not stripped of the ability to function

this is more fluid and spontaneous 

leaving out self consciousness

he is not stripped of his personality

it is the same 

just without unrest within
