Let the sky and earth
forever resound in song;
I took you into my heart.
Longing and thought came to me—
I knew exactly how they arrived.
Birth is but a moment;
Death, too, is just a moment!!
Birth, your action—
You are the one who leaves it behind!
Death, the counter-action—
I am the one who takes it in!
In this changing world of illusion,
Welcoming the curse as a boon,
Let spring breezes blow,
Achievement is needed—and
that is sacrifice!!
It must bloom within us,
Grow daily,
The mind must understand,
In understanding, clarity must arise,
In clarity, stability must hold,
In stability, we must stand firm—
That steady state is the divine state;
I have found it!
