When You Become Soft Like Wax
By Yogi Bhajan
One day when you will become soft like wax,
Then my thread of life will pass through you,
And out of the accident of the warmth of my heart
One end will get lit,
And you will burn – slowly melting in the heat of the flame.
And when you will reach the end,
You will find God waiting for you,
To embrace you into His Infinity.
And one day, when you will become soft like wax,
My thread of life will pass through you,
And out of the passion and compassion of the time
Your one end will get lit,
And the spread of Light through you will bring joy –
But jealousy will hover around you and the moths will burn alive.
But you will keep on – melting and burning and spreading the Light,
Knowing that at the base of you
God is waiting to embrace you and merge you in Infinity.
When one day you will love me and become known to me
And in that knowledge when I will forget
The meaning of life and your image…
You will exist no more.
And that is the state of experience in consciousness:
Then God wants you and you don’t want God.
The face value of every human is mostly not like that of an adult,
Because the inner being has never tried
To merge with the outer being.
