Lose yourself. Lose yourself in this love. When you lose yourself in this love, You will find everything. Lose yourself. Lose yourself. Do not fear this loss. For you will rise from the earth and embrace the endless heavens. Lose yourself. Lose yourself. Escape from this earthly form. For this body is a chain and you are its prisoner. Smash through the prison wall and walk outside with the kings and princes. Lose yourself. Lose yourself at the foot of the glorious king. When you lose yourself before the king, You will become the king. Lose yourself. Lose yourself. Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon. Now enter that silence. This is the surest way to lose yourself. What is your life about anyway? Nothing but a struggle to be someone. Nothing but a running from your own silence.
