Journey of Life

In this journey of life

You travel on a pilgrimage

From being human to becoming God.

On a road that you are free to choose,

One that may be full of stops, thorns and obstacles,

And another in which you have no worries.

Only travel!

The first path is that of the mind and intellect.

The second is that of total surrender to God.

Your body is the chariot.

That is balanced on the four wheels

Of truth, righteousness, peace and love.

The self is the charioteer that holds the reins.

The five horses are your senses

That are controlled by the self.

If the self loses control,

The horses lose their sense of direction.

Even if one of the wheels loses its balance.

The chariot falls apart and

The charioteer loses its mode of transport.

To reach your destination of self-realisation,

The body must be taken care of.

And must be considered

Only as a mode of transport.

You must not confuse your identity with the body,

The mind and body must be kept in balance.

With the four wheels

Of truth, righteousness, love and peace,

The driving force must be the strength of the self,

And not by the senses,

That will only mislead you and delude you.

Your goal must be one pointed,

To find Me and reach Me,

There will be no body,

No mind, no intellect, no senses,

Only the real Me, coming back to Me!
