121. Where I was born and what I do

Your mind wants to know
Where I was born
And what I do.
Well, I was born in the bosom of night,
And I sleep and sleep,
I descend and descend.

Your heart wants to know
Where I was born
And what I do.
Well, I was born in the heart of Light,
And I long and long,
I ascend and ascend.

Your soul wants to know
Where I was born
And what I do.
Well, I was born on the lap of Delight,
And I smile and smile,
I transcend and transcend.
