The Utimate Question

What do you do with the life that you have received?
Do you give it back, after the allotted years,
Crippled,
After working, eating, drinking, 'happiness',
After the Game of Good and Bad Fortune?

And you end up Unconscious,
Just as you began?
Or do you dare
To take the Upward Journey?
Wearisome, perhaps, but certain step-by-step
Of being conscious in Spirit, Soul and Body
Through Will, Wisdom and Activity.

In accepting everything
While knowing that nothing is without meaning.
Say farewell in Seven Spirals
Constantly more sublime,
By which, unknowing, the Straight Path appears
For the spiritual being whom you truly are,
Who, above dying nature
Enters into the Fields of Birth,

So Giving
Is Living.
