O azure sky! Do enlighten me
That I too become as you- vast infinitude,

That I too shall become as boundless.

 

Yes, a mere nullity you are,
Nothing else,

Yet you are everything being nothing,

Empty and yet everything belonging in you.

O azure sky! Do enlighten me
That I shall become as empty as you are.

 

Accepting everything

Yet, are you self-absorbed;

Mastering over everything

Yet, are you tranquil.

O azure sky! Do enlighten me
That I shall become as self-absorbed as you,

That I shall become as tranquil.

 

All colors in you

All contours within you

All tumults contained in you

And yet are you ever calm.

O azure sky! Do enlighten me
That I shall become as ethereally pure,

That I shall become as peaceful.
