No I, No Me, No Mine
See them, floundering in their sense of mine, like fish in the puddles of a dried-up stream — and, seeing this, live with no mine, not forming attachment for states of becoming. Subdue desire for both sides, comprehending sensory contact, with no greed. Doing nothing for which he himself would rebuke himself, the enlightened person doesn’t adhere to what’s seen, to what’s heard. Comprehending perception, he’d cross over the flood — the sage not stuck on possessions. Then, with arrow removed, living heedfully, he longs for neither — this world, the next.
