Every fear, pain and sadness
Is a gift wrapped in a bow
Placed by the Great Love
At the doorstep of your life

Who hates a beautiful gift
Except those who are blind?
And what is blindness
But to look with your desires
and your mind?

Open up your inner heart
Behold the world with Divine eyes
True perception from the Sacred self
Is the vision of essence that never lies

Joy hides in sadness
Hope hides in despair
It is no secret
That the cure is in the poison

To be grateful for your hardships
Is to live a life that’s Divine
Peace is no stranger
To those who patiently give thanks

Sacrifice your false self
Unclench your grip on being
Die a hundred deaths
And be reborn without fear
