I have to give up everything
Whatever is mine,
Nothing belongs to me
What I boast to be of mine.
I arrived in this earth
While nothing was with me,
When I'll die and go back again
Nothing I can carry.
The faster I can give up
The better I'll feel free
None can snatch or ride on me,
I have nothing to envy.
I have to leave my riches,
My pleasures and my prides
My love, my people ……
My sorrows, miseries and pains.
I have to leave my heart and my mind,
I have to leave my " I ".
Only I will be carrying the soul -
When I shall die.
This earth does not allow to carry anything
Except the soul which is divine.
