O Monk
among monks! Your unabounding glory is greater than that
of the sun. The sun rises every day but sets as well, but
the orb of your omniscience is ever shining, it never
sets. The sun is eclipsed but you are passionless and
infinitely virtuous; as such, no mundane passion or
desire eclipses the glory of your virtues. The sun slowly
rises over parts of the world, but the glow of your
omniscience reaches every part of the world at once. The
sunrays are obstructed by insignificant clouds, but there
is nothing that can obstruct the radiance of your
knowledge.
