' The state, you must perceive '...

Instead of searching for what you do not have,
find out what it is that you have never lost.

That
which is there before the beginning and after the
ending of everything;

that to which there is no
birth, nor death.

That immovable state, which
is not affected by the birth and death of a body
or a mind, that state you must perceive.
