512. Life is what we make it

Life is what we make it.
Since I have realised this truth,
How can I fail
In the battlefield of life?

Life is what we make it.
Since I have realised this truth,
How can I forget
To keep my life a chance to embody the Real,
And manifest the transcendental Truth?
After all, it is I who shall share
Its matchless triumph.
