Peace filled the body, ending the body's dream that was never.. 201..

These two-hundred verses addressed to the mind,
Practised with faith, will cut the ties that bind.

Knowledge, dispassion, and will, shall adorn the meek;
Thus says this servant of Rama,
Faith will bring the freedom, the everlasting joy's peak.. 205..
