Translation
If everything that the world hasDisappears and never returns,
Then why should we live on fruitless
Reminiscence-life?
If the life dies and never blossoms again,
Then why enter into this world?
I was quite satisfied in the higher world
Where I was formless and was alone.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1976
