If you can unmask the masquerade

Of life and its illusions

then you have overcome, in truth,

all obstacles of existence.

.

If you can see the light of God

shimmering through every moment

there’s no-one that can equal you

in this entire existence.

.

If others sit wrapped in their minds

ensnared by their devices

and you sit free and face your Lord

you’ve triumphed over all existence.

.

If you can push aside the noise

of people and their distractions

and see your Lord through their demands

you’ve conquered all existence.

.

If you can find, when calamities

spin through your life like whirlwinds,

the pre-eternal light of God,

you’re a gem of this existence.

.

If you can find infinite stillness

when people around run riot

and find the One who truly lives

you’ve uncovered the secret of existence.

.

If you can face your death with peace

and recognize your frailty

then you become the triumphant one

of life and this existence.

.

If you can purge your heart of love

for fame and notoriety

and prefer to seek the light of God

you’re elevated over all existence.

.

If you can make your goals for Him

and act with true intentions

the world bends, bowing at your feet

you’re the master of existence.

.

If you can make your heart a slave

to Him, while others imagine

they’re masters of their own destinies,

He makes you King of all existence.

.

O Lord when this world overcomes

our minds and our motivations

make us discern Your Reality

encompassing all existence

.

And peace be on the messenger

and blessings without concession

who, if we ever met him now,

would revive our whole existence.
