Be clear-minded to attain emptiness
Hold firm to the stillness
The rising and falling of all things will end
b
c
I bear witness to their return

Stillness is returning to the nature of God
e
Returning to the nature of God is the Eternal

Knowing the Eternal is insight f

Knowing the never-changing embraces all

Impartiality is an attribute of sovereignty
g
And sovereignty is of Heaven

h
He who is of Heaven is One with God
e
He who is One with God is Eternal
Count yourself dead but eternally alive in the Son of God i
