Remember me.


I will be with you in the grave

on the night you leave behind

your shop and your family.


When you hear my soft voice

echoing in your tomb,

you will realize

that you were never hidden from my eyes.


I am the pure awareness within your heart,

with you during joy and celebration,

suffering and despair.


On that strange and fateful night

you will hear a familar voice —

you'll be rescued from the fangs of snakes

and the searing sting of scorpions.


The euphoria of love will sweep over your grave;

it will bring wine and friends, candles and food.


When the light of realization dawns,

shouting and upheaval

will rise up from the graves!


The dust of ages will be stirred

by the cities of ecstasy,

by the banging of drums,

by the clamor of revolt!


Dead bodies will tear off their shrouds

and stuff their ears in fright—


What use are the senses and the ears

before the blast of that Trumpet?


Look and you will see my form

whether you are looking at yourself

or toward that noise and confusion.


Don't be blurry-eyed,

See me clearly-

See my beauty without the old eyes of delusion.

Beware! Beware!

Don't mistake me for this human form.

The soul is not obscured by forms.


Even if it were wrapped in a hundred folds of felt

the rays of the soul's light

would still shine through.


Beat the drum,

Follow the minstrels of the city.


It's a day of renewal

when every young man

walks boldly on the path of love.
