96. Departure

The ocean of peace ahead :

Set out the raft, O Helmsman.

You will be the eternal companion,

Accept, o accept on Your lap,

On the path towards infinity shall burn

The light of the Pole-star.

O deliverer, Your mercy, Your compassion

Will be our eternal capital

for the eternal voyage.

Let the mortal bondage wear out,

And the vast universe clasp us close,

Receive inside the heart the fearless identity

Of the great Unknown.

[ shesh lekha, "Last Writing", No.1, 1939]
