Awake to the NameTo be born in a human body is rare,Don’t throw away the reward of your past gooddeeds.Life passes in an instant – the leaf doesn’t go back tothe branch.The ocean of rebirth sweeps up all beings hard,Pulls them into its cold-running, fierce, implacablecurrents.Giridhara, your name is the raft, the one safe-passage over.Take me quickly.All the awake ones travel with Mira, singing thename.She says with them: Get up, stop sleeping – the daysof a life are short.
