Some glad morning
when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that Home
on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away
Oh Glory!
I'll fly away
in the morning

When I die,
Hallelujah by and by!
I'll fly away!

Whenever I catch sight of others,
By thinking, "It is through them,
That I will reach awakening,"
I'll look with sincerity and love.

- Shantideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva

"The soul is bound to the body by a chain of desires,
temptations, troubles, and worries, and it is trying
to free itself.
If you keep tugging at that chain
which is holding you to mortal consciousness,
someday an invisible Divine Hand will intervene
and snap it apart,
and you will be free."
-Paramahansa Yogananda
