Epitaph

From Delusion…Lead me to Truth
For Truth is what will set us free
For Truth is the meaning of all life
For Delusion is what grounds us in Darkness…

From Darkness…Lead me to Light
For Light is the heart of man, woman and child
For Light is the saviour of the disillusioned
For Darkness is the tomb of Death…

From Death…Lead me to Immortality
For Immortality is the soul of the departed
For Immortality is the end of pain
For Death is the inevitable path we all must take…
I wasnt sure whether to call this Prophecy or Epitaph so i settled on Epitaph. Aso i want sure i should put this in Poetry or Prose...Ah well if its wrong then ill change it

The First lines of each 'stanza' is the translation of the corresponding line to 'Navras' by Don Davis and Juno Reactor who took inspiration from 'Brhadaranyaka Upanisad, 1.3.28'

Here is how the verse goes in both Sanskrit and English.

Asato ma sad gamaya
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
Mrutyor ma amrtam gamaya


From delusion lead me to truth
From darkness lead me to light
From death lead me to immortality


So please Rate and Reason if you comment (give a number and say why you have given it and anything i could improve on)
