BIRTH AND DEATH CYCLE

Where there’s birth,

There’s sure death,

No matter, old or youth,

This is a known truth.

The body only dies.

The soul ever lives

To take a new body

After the old body.

Thus the life cycle repeats

As the soul continues

To exist on this earth

Many a birth after death.

The soul too undergoes,

With the body consciousness,

Untold ills and miseries

When the body suffers.

From the petty body consciousness

To the highest God consciousness,

A shift to this great awareness,

Binds the soul with eternal happiness.

One should lead the life,

Like the free lotus leaf

With water not mixing,

But on its surface floating.

Better late than never,

Practice in mind ever

“The body-detachment,

And the God-attachment.”
