To kindle the lamp to decorate Your altar,
I have been searching a match stick my whole life.
For You,
I applied decorations to my eyes again and again.
I understood that the flame is in Your hands.
The garland that I keep searching is with You.
You mercifully forwarded the flame and the garland.
My mental swan spread its wings and landed on its nest.
I don’t know how many eras I have been searching.
Neither could I understand how many forms I have seen.
I only understood that I have been searching You my whole life.
O unlimited and infinite one,
bestow consciousness upon me.
