The Life of Man
The world's a bubble; and the life of man less than a span.
In his conception wretched; from the womb so to the tomb:
Curst from the cradle, and brought up to years, with cares and fears.
Who then to frail mortality shall trust,
But limns the water, or but writes in dust.
Yet, since with sorrow here we live oppress'd, what life is best?
Courts are but only superficial schools to dandle fools:
The rural parts are turn'd into a den of savage men:
And where's a city from all vice so free,
But may be term'd the worst of all the three?
Domestic cares afflict the husband's bed, or pains his head:
Those that live single, take it for a curse, or do things worse:
Some would have children; those that have them none; or wish them gone.
What is it then to have no wife, but single thralldom or a double strife?
Our own affections still at home to please, is a disease:
To cross the sea to any foreign soil, perils and toil:
Wars with their noise affright us: when they cease,
We are worse in peace:
What then remains, but that we still should cry,
Not to be born, or being born, to die.

Even the Great Ones - worry the same - about the same issues - we have problems with.
Where we are sometimes, wholly caught - by the above - they have their visions, questions and answers - as if from a higher plain.
That is their work; as we have ours.
When they share - we are inspired, even ennobled and also changed.
Within change - we imbibe their light and our hearts/thoughts - soar.
Even the fear of death - evaporates - under the revelation of truth and the Presence of the Guide.
Love - is evoked - within both - lover and the Beloved.
Longing for the Homeland - lifts all souls - to realise the journey - by mergence - with the Goal.
What was known and feared and used - dissolves eventually - into the finest vibration - and then - innocently/silently - in the Unknown.
May all - taste - this very worthy End. (a hint from Raja Yoga)
