Why dost Thou not show Thy mercy towards me, that my mind may find peace in the centre of all things? Then neither good nor evil would enter it; it would attain the welcome consummation of peace. I am oppressed by the mutations of the five elements; the generous one should protect me from these by making me insensible to the world. Break the neck of my sense of self, says Tuka.
