You would like to stay with family and loved ones
Forever, but you are certain to leave them.
You would like to keep your beautiful home
Forever, but you are bound to leave them behind.
You would like to enjoy happiness, wealth and comfort
Forever, but you are certain to loss them.
You would like to keep this excellent human life with its freedoms
and advantages
Forever, but you are certain to die.
You would like to study Dharma with your wonderful teacher
Forever, but you are certain to part.
You would like to be with your good spiritual friends
Forever, but you are certain to separate.
O, my friends who feel deep disillusionment with samsara,
I, the Dharmaless beggar, exhort you:
From today put on the armour of effort, for the time has come
To cross to the land of great bliss whence there is no separation.
- Jetsun Milarepa
