Saraha - 2

The body is the boat, the pure mind is the oar.
Take as a rudder the word of a good master.
Make your mind quiet and then steer the boat – by no other means can one reach the other shore.
The boatman tows the boat.
Do not hastily approach the inborn [Sahaja] through other ways.
The path is dangerous, and the wicked are strong.
Everything is destroyed at the swelling of the ocean.
Saraha says: If you follow the bank and sail upstream against the swift current, the boat will enter the sky [heaven].
