Do not count your tears of pain;
do not pour over your grief.
Let them pass through your mind,
as birds fly through the sky,
leaving no trail behind, or as flames and floods
appear on the screen in a picture house,
without affecting the screen.
Give up in order to gain;
restrain in order to receive;
sacrifice, so that you may be saved.
You have to sacrifice your animality,
the beastly lust and greed, hate and malice.
Sacrifice these and you earn the heaven of un-flinching peace.
If you analyze the difference
between God and man, you will find
that life plus desire is man and life minus desire is God.
