In Edwin Arnold's words:

Seeking nothing, he gains all;

Foregoing @self, the Universe grows "I";

If any teach Nirvāna is to cease,

Say unto such they lie.

If any teach Nirvāna is to live,

Say unto such they err; not knowing this,

Nor what light shines beyond their broken lamps,

Nor lifeless, timeless, bliss.
