My Guru

I know
My soul remains in perpetual inertia.
It ought to be so.

The ultimate is beyond comprehension.
No beginning, no continuance, no end.
I deny a priori facts.  Deny intellectual growth.

My soul doesn't snapper, nor grill any.
It cannot wear off, it is the part of the cosmic.

Absolute concentration of mind and limbs
Give me strength.
My soul I cannot control!

Salvation is the liberation of the soul from body.
The body merges with the earth, the elements.

The soul becomes part of the Universal mind.
Unemotional soul, shapeless soul
It defies definitions.  It is GOD.

Youth is action-packed.  Vigilant and strong.
Duty-bound.  Action has results,
Never think of results.
Nothing is good or bad.

Ephemeral is life.  Soul alone is permanent.
My Guru taught me so.
