Similarly, the great seer sees that this basic element,
Which he perceives with his omniscient eye, is like honey
And thus accomplishes the complete removal
Of its obscurations that are like bees.
Which he perceives with his omniscient eye, is like honey
And thus accomplishes the complete removal
Of its obscurations that are like bees.
- Le grand ermite, qui voit d’un œil omniscient
- L’Élément de connaissance comparable au miel,
- N’a de cesse que d’éliminer à jamais
- Les voiles ici comparés à des abeilles.

- Perceiving this Essence known as akin to honey,
- Accomplishes the non-connection of the Essence
- With the bees-like obscurations, completely.
Fuchs (2000) [5]

- sees the honey-like element of awareness,
