Translation

Why are you wandering like this for no useful purpose, hey mind? Rest awhile! What has to happen will happen that way only by itself; and not any other way. Not ruminating over the past, not conceiving the future, I will experience only those enjoyments which come to me without any intentional wishing. ॥ 62 ॥
