All Karmas proceed with the force to either remove pain or gain pleasure
Experiencing pleasure and pain, we roam the streets of Samsara
Where there is Birth, there will be certain pain
There is certain Death, and nothing to gain
Not knowing light from darkness we roam the streets of misery
In beauty there is ugliness
In ugliness I see beauty too
What a repulsive body that I have which oozes grime and filth
These carnal desires do I find unfulfilling
Where there is Birth, there will be certain pain
There is certain Death, and nothing to gain
Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam
Asmadacharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam
Finally the Truth is seen
Unknowable once to me but now known to me
What an error it is to take myself to be what I am not
No words can reveal me
Yet words alone set me free
The beatitude revealed through desciplic succession
No delusion for me
I am the ever free
No illusion for me
I am the ever free
Sadashiva Samarambham Shankaracharya Madhyamam
Asmadacharya Paryantam Vande Guru Paramparam
