Sacred River

You stand on the boat of life:

Death burns always in the background -

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

On the ghats of Benares, bodies burn in endless  succession;

Are you the body? Or are you spirit?

When the body is burnt, who will you be?

Find out now-while you still live!

Through the window of  Self -Knowledge,

seek the answer deep within:
Learn how to be

The sacred river flowing so gladly home to the sea.
