He asks about what the future holds for him, inquiring into life.
What a sincere and uncomplicated request he poses,
What lies ahead for him in this world?
And life answers back…
A mystery that remains unsolved by all!
He then queries: I comprehend your existence, life, but
why am I unable to perceive you…why is that?
I am aware of your presence,
yet why don't you communicate with me?
You bring me happiness on certain days,
while on others you bring me sorrow.
Despite your constant presence, why do you keep testing me?
At times I succeed, but other times I struggle to survive,
And as I come closer to you, you slip away, teasing me,
Please reveal these secrets to me?
To which life responds:
You hold sway over your destiny,
You possess a spirit that talks,
Bliss and agony are subjective expressions,
You have volition yet you are powerless at the same time.
I cannot disclose these enigmas to you,
for death is lurking behind you.
