Humans,
don’t collect gold and jewels:
fill your hearts with longing,
that burns like red-hot coals.
Steal the rubies from the angels’ gazes,
drink the cold water of the devil’s pool.
Humans, don’t collect treasurethat make you beggars;
collect riches
that give you royal power.
Gift your children a beauty
that human eyes haven’t seen,
gift your children a power
that can break open the doors of Heaven.
