In those who attain Zen,
mental machinations disappear,
vision and action are forgotten,
and there are no subjective views.

Zen adepts just remain free,
and are imperceptible to anyone,
either would-be supporters or would-be antagonists.

They walk on the bottom of the deepest ocean,
uncontaminated, with free minds,
acting normally,
indistinguishable from the average person.
