Busy all day, drowsiness runs deep,
Suddenly feeling pain and itch, I wake from sleep.
Scratching skin and flesh, the mind grows vexed,
Lying back on the pillow, restlessness returns.
For beginningless kalpas, clinging to the body has been heavy,
Even a mosquito bite's welt troubles the spirit.
Constantly disturbed and harassed by the aggregate of feeling (vedanā),
Let go of body and mind, and contemplate at ease.
