It sees how changing processes Occur in what's called time, And watches matter drop away As soul aims for sublime.
Thanks to laws of motion, rest, The process takes its course, No sooner known than fears of unknown Vanish from thy life;
And so the world of loka turns Into thy living room
Inhabited by limitless,
Thyself, all-knowing, free.
So tarry not in this thy life, Of value infinite,
Lose not a second unto grief, Rejoice in now eternal!
For after countless steps, nay lives, Thy feet have found their way, Thou tread the pathless path to peace, The road to thy fulfilment.
Give thanks to bodhidurlabha ! How rare this gift to find! Enlightenment, it sits upon
Thy crown, thy brow, thy vision.
Look in! Look up! See there thy Self! 'Tis shining like the flame; Cease full thy steps, bestill thy tongue,
Gaze deep upon thy soul.

O Dharma! Dharma ! Dharma ! Truly art thou named ! Reality untouched by form,
The binding force of love,
Dharma !
