1.27. Streams

ā€œFrom where do the streams turn back?
Where does the round no longer revolve?
Where does name-and-form cease,
Stop without remainder?ā€

ā€œWhere water, earth, fire, and air,
Do not gain a footing:
It is from here that the streams turn back,
Here that the round no longer revolves;
Here name-and-form ceases,
Stops without remainder.ā€
