How can I cut through what binds me?
With the discerning wisdom of an enlightened being,
With the skill and precision of a gifted surgeon,
With the healing compassion of a devoted mother:
Sunder all aversions!
Sever all attachments!
Slice through delusions!
Rend all fear!
Cut off all that does not serve love and harmony!
