Much above the fear of profit and loss is life!

Now the soul now the surrender of soul is life!

Do not measure it on the scale of today and tomorrow

Eternal, incessantly struggling, ever young is life!

Create your own world if you claim to be among the living

The secret of Adam and the object of Kun fikan is life

Ask the mountain digger for the reality of life

The canal of milk, the axe, the heavy rock is life

In slavery it is choked to a mere trickling brook

And in freedom like the boundless ocean is life

It is manifested by its power of subduing

Though concealed in a body of dust is life

You have emerged from the existence’ ocean like a bubble

In this losing battle your examination is life

This flow of breath is like a sword,

Selfhood is its sharpness;

Selfhood is the secret of life;

It is the world’s awakening,

Selfhood is solitary, absorbed,

An ocean enclosed in a drop;

It shines in light and in darkness,

Existent in, but away from, thee and me.

The dawn of life behind it, eternity before,

It has no frontiers before, no frontiers behind.

Afloat on the river of time,

Bearing the buffets of the waves,

Changing the course of its quest,

Shifting its glance from time to time;

For it a hill is a grain of sand,

Mountains are shattered by its blows;

A journey is its beginning and end,

And this is the secret of its being.

It is the moon’s beam, the spark in the flint,

Colourless itself, though infused with colours,

No concern has it with the calculus of space,

With linear time’s limits, with the finitude of life.

It manifested itself in man’s essence of dust,

After an eternity of a strife to be born.

It is in thy heart that Selfhood has an abode,

As heaven has its abode in the cornea of thy eye
