Slowly, friend

Slowly, slowly.
Come to the house where I live.
None is the way
And no light to guide you
Inside or outside, only darkness.
Full of faults from the ages past.
Come to the house where I live.

Walk in the border of darkness.

Walk and walk the day and night.
Autumn, spring, summer and winter.
You have caught hold of the robe.
Awaken the truth.
Slowly, slowly.
Come to the house where I live.

Many are the pitfalls along the way.

Many are the difficulties that you will face.
Blind darkness envelops you on every side.
Come to the house.
Slowly, slowly.

Gone are the sins of the past.

With free and fear less mind
Become the flower of humanity.
Throw your petals of light
To all those who need, but Slowly, slowly.

Swami Satyananda Saraswati
