Break The Egg

Whether it is sparrow or phoenix, it breaks the egg and opens wings towards the sky, When the child fills nine months in mother’s womb, he goes out, gets rid of pressure and sadness, If he doesn’t go out, know that he has died in mother’s womb or assume that he didn’t come to mother’s womb, It is like the wind coming from the liver; they deemed the wind child, If it was child, it would appear nicely, arise in this world from mother’s womb, and come forward to this great universe, the world which is embellished with earth and sky, Mountains and plains of the world are innumerable; its waters and seas are without coasts; If you are pregnant of those divine lights, take your head out from the world of darkness, Oh, the one who has been seeking, rise from the body resembling Mary without a father like Jesus, Come to yourself and if you are from that mine, don’t remain at your own entity, self; if you are soul, don’t give your heart to this body, If playing in mother’s womb is because of love, do not scatter like the wind, this is not a meaningless playing, Go out from the worldly body once again and walk towards the world of mind and soul…
