tadvikalpodayābhāvādanābhogaḥ sadā muneḥ

།ཐུབ་པ་རྟག་ཏུ་ལྷུན་གྱིས་གྲུབ།
For whom, whereby, where,
And when which guiding activity [is to be performed],
[The activity] of the sages is always effortless.

- Quelle discipline ? Où ? Quand ?
- Comme le Sage n’a pas de ces pensées,
- Son action est toujours spontanée.
