Verse 348. Reaching The Further Shore

Let go before, let go the after,
let go the middle, beyond the becoming.
With mind released in every way
you’ll come no more to birth, decay.

Explanation: Give up the past, give up the future, give up the present. Having reached the end of existence, with a mind free (of all conditioned things), you will not again undergo birth and decay.
