RebirthA Poem by AiR - Atman in RaviThe waves of the ocean come and go After a dark night, the sun will glow The Law of Cycles operates everywhere on earth And so, after we die, we come back in a Rebirth What is the cause of this human birth? What was the reason we came to earth? We didn't decide where and when we were born It was our Karma that sounded the horn Therefore, when we see a child born blind We ask, 'Is God unjust; is He so unkind?' No, God isn't unkind, our Karma is the cause We will Realize the Truth of birth, if we pause As we sow, so shall we reap On earth if we sin, we sure will weep Such is the law, what we give, we get Apples won't grow on a mango tree, that is a bet The Law of Karma is a Universal Law It makes no mistake, it has no flaw Not only does it work everywhere on earth Even after death, it causes our Rebirth Death is certain, everybody must die Nobody can escape, not you, nor I But what is death, is it the final end? No, it is not, it is just a bend The body dies, it is burnt to dust But the one who was alive, leaves like a gust Don't we say that he passed away? But where does he go, can anybody say? We are sure that the one who died left Otherwise, our loved ones would have the body kept But who is the one that has left the body behind? Is it ME, the Ego and the Mind? The body is just an instrument to act The mind and ego direct it, that's a fact The body is born, and the body must die But the mind and ego, escape in the sky But where do the mind and ego go? What happens after the end of the show? To settle their Karma, they must return to earth There is no other option, but to take rebirth Is it true that we go to heaven and hell? These fairy tales cast a spell! Heaven and hell are not far away in the stars We return to earth, to settle our scars And so, the cycle goes on and on We live, we die, and we are Reborn As long as we live as this body and mind The mind will be Reborn, the body left behind But when we achieve our ultimate goal When we realize we are the Divine Soul Then, from Rebirth, we are free And one with our Lord, forever we will be But how can we become one with our Lord? To escape from Rebirth and unite with God When we overcome our ignorance and Realize the Truth Then, we don't plant seeds, there will be no shoot As long as seeds of Karma we plant Escaping from Rebirth we just can’t The body will die when it has no breath But we will return after our death As long as we are ignorant, we will be Reborn There is no other option, but a body to adorn But once we realize we are not the body, ego, or mind We are free from Karma and rebirth, we will find We have two options at the moment of death Either we will be Reborn as we lose our breath But if we realize we are the Divine Soul We will Unite with God, our Ultimate Goal So today, the mystery of Rebirth let us solve To Realize the Truth, let us resolve And be free from the triple suffering on earth To become one with God, not return in a Rebirth Let us realize we are not the body and mind The body will die and mind will rewind All the actions that it has done Will transfer to a new life that’s begun But if we Realize we are not the doer of action Then of course there will be no reaction Then we will be from Karma free And not have to be Reborn, we agree For Rebirth is only for the one who does Who lives as the ego and makes a fuss But one who lives as the Divine Soul He is free, achieves the Ultimate Goal This is the purpose of our life on earth To live as Soul and be free from Rebirth To Realize the Truth as we live and die And to become one with the Lord in the sky © 2021 AiR - Atman in Ravi |
