You, My dears, are born to
exist in this bliss, you are born
to shed each impression made
by the mind in this birth and in
previous births, you are born
to tackle with the hunger of your desires,
you are born to reach inward, and derive
from within, the strength of nobleness that
exists in the true self.
Kill, O child, the perceptions
of your imaginary God that dwells
in another world, far beyond your reach.
Threaten, O brave one,
each fear with your existing
knowledge of the truth and
fight the war of your impatience.
Melt your desire for gold
into the ornament of fulfillment and contentment.
Tease the enticements of
delusion with your strength of rejection.
Accept the blame of ignorance
with the maturity of the wise and sincere spiritual aspirant.
Suffocate the senses with the
ropes of self discipline and control.
Subdue the voice of the ego and
awaken the voice of the conscience.
Exert, My dears, every atom of strength
to rebel against the power of your own inner evil.
Say "No" now, and today,
will be better than yesterday, and tomorrow,
My child, will be perfect!
Know that the efforts in you
are mine - the gain is only yours.
Know that the pain of sacrifice
that you will endure are My tears -
the benefit of sacrifice will be only yours.
Know that the faith that faces
the trials of love, is Me - the reward
of receiving boundless love is only yours!
