Thag 2:24 · Valliya
What needs to be done
with firm persistence,
what needs to be done
by one who hopes for awakening,
that I will do.
I will not fail.
See: persistence & striving!
You show me the path:
the straight,
the plunge into deathlessness.
I, through sagacity,
will reach it, know it,
as the stream of the Ganges,
the sea.
