You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

    Sie müssen Ihr Zimmer nicht verlassen. Bleib an deinem Tisch sitzen und hör zu. Hören Sie nicht einmal zu, warten Sie einfach, seien Sie ruhig, still und einsam. Die Welt wird sich dir frei anbieten, entlarvt zu werden, sie hat keine Wahl, sie wird in Ekstase zu deinen Füßen rollen.

    δεν χρειάζεται να φύγετε από το δωμάτιό σας. παραμείνετε στο τραπέζι σας και ακούστε. μην ακούτε, απλά περιμένετε, να είστε ήσυχοι, ακόμα και μοναχικοί. ο κόσμος θα προσφερθεί ελεύθερα σε σας για να αποκαλυφθεί, δεν έχει άλλη επιλογή, θα κυλήσει σε έκσταση στα πόδια σας.

    no es necesario que salga de su habitación. Permanezca sentado en su mesa y escuche. ni siquiera escuches, simplemente espera, cállate, quieto y solitario. el mundo se te ofrecerá libremente para que lo desenmascares, no tiene elección, se revolcará extasiado a tus pies.

    sinun ei tarvitse poistua huoneestasi. pysy istumassa pöydän ääressä ja kuuntele. älä edes kuuntele, odota vain, ole hiljainen, hiljainen ja yksinäinen. maailma tarjoaa itsensä vapaasti paljastettavaksi, sillä ei ole muuta vaihtoehtoa, se pyörii ekstaasissa jalkojesi edessä.

    non è necessario lasciare la stanza. resta seduto alla tua tavola e ascolta. non ascoltare nemmeno, aspetta semplicemente, stai zitto, fermo e solitario. il mondo si offrirà liberamente a te per essere smascherato, non ha scelta, rotolerà in estasi ai tuoi piedi.
