Of my life
Be the sweetness-fragrance
Of my heart-rose.

To be successful in life:
Always look
On the bright, brighter, brightest
Side of life.

Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.

An ever-mounting aspiration flame,

At every moment
To feel the blessingful Presence
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

By our bringing the positive qualities
Of others to the fore,
Will this world be able
To make progress.

Knows no fear.

Hope dares to blossom
Even inside the abysmal abyss.

Hope secretly feeds
And strengthens
Promise.

A sea of love.

A river of detachment.
