Translation

The body exists,
Therefore, suffering, too.
Inseparable they are.
He who owns a body
Is always assailed by countless ailments.
World-suffering befriends him.
For him there is no peace of mind.
But he who has conquered
His earth-bound mind
Has made friends with Eternity’s Delight.
The rest are doomed to suffer,
Like a flower forcibly plucked from the tree.
