The Ease of Letting Be

Reflection

The verse begins, “He who overcomes this fierce thirst, difficult to be conquered in this world, sufferings fall off….” In its chapter, this image points toward craving and the possibility of release. The water imagery emphasizes accumulation: a mind and a life are shaped by many small conditions, not one dramatic moment. Because this is a historic English translation, test the teaching in experience rather than treating its wording as a demand for belief.
