Dreams
Again and again this moment won't come, This moment will not come again, Again and again, this present so precious, Use now or the moment's in vain,
The way that you know, in that way you do, Do that which makes Indweller pleased, No rule can I give but find your path in you And that Goodness in you will be pleased.
Birth after birth the seed that you sow Of ecstasy never will cease, Continue evolving, continue to grow And the harvest of bliss will increase,
For body and wealth and youth we're obsessed, But these are illusory forms,
Gone in a breath, let us know how we're blessed, Flow with Prāna and weather life's storms;
For Prāna is Life, more precious than wealth, More precious than body and youth,
Use as a means not an end wealth and health, Then your living will take you to Truth.
When this body drops down, what meaning has wealth And all the things that you store?
Why would you want to be called an old miser? Why do you hoard and store more?
Again and again, this moment won't come, This moment will not come again, Again and again, this present so precious, Use now so your life's not in vain.
