Death, why are you not natural?
Death, why are you not natural?"Pilgrim, who told you that?
Just live in your soul,
And you will see
That nobody is as natural
As I am."
Death, why are you not useful?
"Pilgrim, who told you that?
Just live in your heart,
And you will deeply appreciate
My tremendous usefulness."
Death, why are you not universal?
"Pilgrim, who told you that?
Just live in your mind,
And you will learn
That my universality surprisingly surpasses
The rest of God's creation put together."
Sri Chinmoy, The silence of death, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
