"For the terrible fear of death, I have built myself a house
And now, this house is the oceanic and unconfessed bliss of the Supreme Self that I have already discovered in myself.

For fear of the cold, I bought myself a coat

And this garment now always gives me the warmth inside my heart that burns with an unquenchable love.

Now that's why I'm not afraid of the cold at all.

For fear of poverty, I've always sought wealth

And glorious is now to me this mysterious boundless wealth that comes to me moment by moment from God.

Now I'm not afraid of misery at all.

For fear of hunger, I've always sought food

And now my food is the profound yogic meditation that is carried out on the ultimate truth that set me free.

Now that's why I'm not afraid of hunger at all.

For fear of thirst, I've always sought a drink,

And my unmissable drink has now become the mysterious and eternally intoxicating nectar of true supreme knowledge.

Now I'm never afraid of thirst again.

For fear of the enemy, I've always sought a companion

And in the end I found him in the enigmatic and eternal void of divine betituness that never ends.

Now I'm not afraid of any enemies at all.

Because of the fear of making mistakes, I too searched with a persistent frenzy for a true spiritual path.

And now this is for me the Path of the Transcendent Union in God the UNIC and always OMNIPRESENT.

Now I'm not afraid of any mistakes at all.

For I am already a wise man in whom the whole hidden greatness of the world that has been manifested by God is endlessly mirrored,

Now I always benefit from countless treasures of supreme knowledge; and everywhere I go

I am eternally happy and fully free." - Milarepa
