Om, the University student.

Here, are the spiritual facts of life:
There is not time to waste.

Listen; 

"Young people all, attention give
And hear what I shall say;
I wish your souls with meditation to live
In everlasting day.

Remember you are hast'ning on
To death's dark gloomy shade;
Your joys on earth will soon be gone,
Your flesh in dust be laid.

Death's iron gate you must pass through
Ere long , my dear young friends;
With whom do you think to go?
With saints, or non-meditating fiends?

Will you pursue your dangerous ways?
Pray meditate before too late
Behold, a light before the gate
Most lovingly it doth shine.


Young people all I pray then view
The fountain open wide,
The spring of life, opened for sin,
Which flows the transcendent side;
There you may drink in endless joy,
And reign with the unified field your king
In glad notes your souls employ,
And hallelujahs sing."


A beautiful meditation hymn and strong message
