“Take no pride in the body, It will soon be mingling with the dust. This life is like the sporting of sparrows, It will end with the onset of the night.” LifeDeathLivingMindfulnessLife And DeathMaterialismMortalityLiving In The MomentOptimistic Nihilism Book:Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems Source: Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems
“Awake to the Name To be born in a human body is rare, Don’t throw away the reward of your past good deeds. Life passes in an instant – the leaf doesn’t go back to the branch. The ocean of rebirth sweeps up all beings hard, Pulls them into its cold-running, fierce, implacable currents. Giridhara, your name is the raft, the one safe-passage over. Take me quickly. All the awake ones travel with Mira, singing the name. She says with them: Get up, stop sleeping – the days of a life are short.” Short Life Book:Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems Source: Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems
