The Magic Act on the Ground (2/11)

The logic of silentness realized
By those who reached the Seventh Land of Yoga *[1]
That is beyond the counts of One and Two usually spoken of,
The Fullness that is perfect,
The One Being without none other,
The Beginning of all else,
The Bliss that is unchanging and everlasting,
The Peace that is the state of coolness soothing.
