Birth and Death
Let me die that
You may be born
In me

Then shall a vehicle be born
Of Love, Compassion Infinite
That is You

Then can it flow
All that You pour in me
Of Love and Knowledge
Like water from a bamboo spout
Like music from a flute

Till then shall sorrow reign
Till then shall bliss elude

Reminds me of the story of Tirukachi Nambi who told Ramanuja who said "Naan Vandirukken!" (I have come). : "Naan sethappuram Vaa!" (Come after I die!) He did not understand why the Guru asked him to come after he dies. But only later he realised, THAT IT MEANT, "Come after the "I" in You is Dead!"
