Each birthday
Can be a rebirth for us
To be in God’s Presence.
~
My heart longs to unravel
The mystery of rebirth;
Therefore my Lord Supreme
Tells me to do two things:
He tells me to cry with earth’s
excruciating pangs
And smile with Heaven’s
Life-immortalising Ecstasy.
~
My Lord, I am praying to You
Only for one thing:
My enthusiasm-rebirth.
~
A dangerous and poisonous
Ignorance-snake
Has bitten you mercilessly.
Therefore, it is impossible for you
To witness the rebirth of your life’s
Sweetness-fruitfulness-beauty.
~
What determines our rebirth?
God’s Vision-Eye
And our soul’s God-acceptance-delight.
~
His daily rebirth
In the spiritual life
Is not his mental delusion
But his psychic realisation.
~
Every day I pray to God
To grant me the rebirth
Of my devotion-heart.
