They Are Awake

The world cannot reclaim them
Or lead them astray,
Nor can the poisoned net of desire
hold them.
 
They are awake!
The Gods watch over them.
 
They are awake
And find joy in the stillness of
Meditation
And in the sweetness of surrender.
 
The Buddha
from The Dhammapada
Chapter: The Person Who is Awake
