Pārāyanavagga: The Way to the Beyond

Passāmi naṁ manasā cakkhunā va,
I see him in my mind as though with the eye,

rattindivaṁ brāhmaṇa appamatto.
(as I dwell) heedful night and day, brahmin.

Namassamāno vivasemi rattiṁ,
revering him I make the night pass by,

ten’ eva maññāmi avippavāsaṁ.
for that reason I think there is no (real) dwelling apart.

 

Here is a link to a high quality bilingual edition of the Pārāyanavagga, which is the fifth chapter of the Suttanipāta. It has been edited and translated into English by Ven. Ānandajoti.
