The sacred journey



(744)  Ashani ulka upeksa kari

Disregarding thunderbolts and meteors,
Let's travel to the holy sea of light.
We will not fear the pathway's thorns;
Uprooting brambles, we'll cast them aside.

On our footpath many worms are there;
Many spirits dance in nook and cranny.
To those who concentrate on the goal,
Only their object of meditation is close.
No matter how hard the path may be,
We will press on, crushing all difficulties.

Along this path have trod ancient scholars,
Leaving behind a stream of bliss.
On that very pathstream, sailing are we,
Always proclaiming the message of novelty.
