meaning:
you say you want to bath, when the waves subside, is there an end to the endless mind ?
you say "let me quench my thirst,and then i ll find the truth"
why should thirst be quenched? how can you know truth ?
is there an end ?
All the days you have a body, why should longing cease ? how can you find joy?
is there an end ?
you say "after i know what lies ahead, I?ll forget what was before" can you know what lies ahead?
how can you forget what was before ? Is there an end ?
That goodness that comes of knowing how to reach got--
you wont find it in your wildest dreams. is there an end?
