Birth And Death Cycle

Where there's birth, There's sure death, No matter, old or youth, This is a known truth. The body only dies. The soul ever lives To take a new body After the old body. Thus the life cycle repeats As the soul continues To exist on this earth Many a birth after death. The soul too undergoes, With the body consciousness, Untold ills and miseries When the body suffers. From the petty body consciousness To the highest God consciousness, A shift to this great awareness Binds the soul with eternal happiness. One should lead the life, Like the free lotus leaf With the water not mixing, But on its surface floating. Better late than never, Practice in mind ever, 'The body-detachment, And the God-attachment.'
