THE ELIXIR OF BLISS
Manifest life on this earth is
short, yet one plans to wrap up
the entire cosmos in one’s bag
knowing full well that nothing is
eternal but for the One who creates.
That which is created
though in different manifestations
is ever changing, ever transmuting
to shrug off its old and worn out apparent self,
ever ready to put on the new and fresh one.
Meditate upon the One
who creates and who annihilates.
All beings and things emerge out of Him,
at the end of their span enter into Him.
He is the center and all move around Him by His energy.
Come and go without any attachment
keep the equipoise at all times.
Pride, greed and desires - the enemies - lead to hell.
Concentrate on Him; conscious, unconscious
To taste the elixir of bliss here and above.
Into Eternity -- Paul Schad-Rossa
