Pilgrimage

If you want to find something,

Set out on a seeking trip!

Set fire to water

And spill the flames,

Drive the wind through the earth,

Sunbeams merge with ice and snow.

You may see coloured autumn leaves

Falling on early spring flowers.

Then you'll understand

Variety of the world

In its c h a o s.

If you want to find more,

Set out on a seeking trip.

You may experience the male and female

Energies, tension and relief,

You may bow to your masters

Or you might better pace with your head high.

Then you'll understand

The boundaries of this world

In its c h a o s.

You may close your eyes

And discover vast spaces.

You may feel how empty evil things are,

Every suffering's just vanity.

Unknown friend will whisper

To your ear saying his secret,

No fight against emptiness, you just can fill it.

Then you'll understand,

There's only one way,

One way, the way of light.
