All Karmas proceed with the force to either remove pain or gain pleasure Experiencing pleasure and pain, we roam the streets of Samsara Where there is Birth, there will be certain pain There is certain Death, and nothing to gain Not knowing light from darkness we roam the streets of misery In beauty there is ugliness In ugliness I see beauty too What a repulsive body that I have which oozes grime and filth These carnal desires do I find unfulfilling Where there is Birth, there will be certain pain There is certain Death, and nothing to gain Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam Asmadacharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam Finally the Truth is seen Unknowable once to me but now known to me What an error it is to take myself to be what I am not No words can reveal me Yet words alone set me free The beatitude revealed through desciplic succession No delusion for me I am the ever free No illusion for me I am the ever free Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam Asmadacharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam
