lyrics

As long as we are overpowered by the darkness of ignorance, we are the slave of Nature and must accept whatever comes as the fruit of our thoughts and deeds. When we stray into the path of unreality, the Sages declare that we destroy ourselves; because those who clings to the perishable body and regards it as their true self must experience death many times.

I’ll burn fast in the end
My body’s only temporary

What exactly is the difference between a dream and waking experience? What happens to the sense of “I” in dreamless sleep? In the constantly changing flow of human experience, is there anything that remains the same? In the constantly changing flow of thought, is there an observer who remains the same? Is there any thread of continuity, some level of reality higher than waking, in which these states of mind cohere?

I’ll burn fast in the end
My body’s only temporary
Destroy the sense of I and death a thousand times

Darkness in absolutes
Spiraling forever
