When we have got what we are to do,

There is the time of life in which to do it;

When we lose that at death--resignation

And submission to the divine Heaven's will

Are what is required for a due reincarnation.

When one rests in what the time requires

And manifests the submission and resignation,

Neither joy nor sorrow can find their entrance

To the mind of the degenerative to be.

This would be what the ancients called

"Loosing but not to lose the cords

By which the life is still suspended."

While hanging up, one cannot lose oneself--

One is held fast by one's bonds. And that

A human being cannot evade the inevitable

And overcome the divine will of Heaven

Is a time-proved and long-acknowledged fact!
