One Realness never changes; wear humility like armor, and be free while still alive.
The Arc
The Solha praises the changeless True One and the love for it hidden deep within. It levels king and subject alike, holds birth and death within the divine flow, and offers truth, calm, and contentment at the teacher's door. It traces how the whole world wells up from I-and-mine, contrasts outer plenty with inner emptiness, warns gently against reading much while missing the heart, and rises to the golden body wed to the Word, the Great Giver who keeps giving, and total belonging to the One.

P9: the literal's great disease and sinking into manure are dropped; the kept teaching is that comfort without inner life leaves a curable ache.
P10: the reading-and-arguing critique targets formalism in any tradition, not the scriptures themselves; churning (bilovana) is kept as patient inner practice. Flagged for interfaith evenhandedness.
P12: dies of evil-mindedness and no peace even in dreams are softened to restlessness that a change of heart can heal.
