Do not be misled by what you see around you, 

or be influenced by what you see. 

You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, 

full of false paths, false values and false ideals. 

But you are not part of that world.

You must pass your days in song. 

Let your whole life be a song.

You must be a lotus, 

unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, 

unaffected by the slush where it is born 

or even the water which sustains it!

What matters is to live in the present, 

live now, 

for every moment is now. 

It is your thoughts and acts of the moment 

that create your future.

Life is a song — sing it. 

Life is a game — play it. 

Life is a challenge — meet it. 

Life is a dream — realise it. 

Life is a sacrifice — offer it. 

Life is love — enjoy it.

All action results from thought, 

so it is thoughts that matter.
