What do we fight for?<\/p>\n

What do we hope to gain by it?<\/p>\n

When one does not have one’s own self?<\/p>\n

What kind of victory do we hope to win?<\/p>\n

Would anyone who believes in causes and effect?<\/p>\n

The Karma, and reaping what we sow<\/p>\n

Or anyone who believes in a God<\/p>\n

Ever bring about pain to another?<\/p>\n

Those who search for liberation<\/p>\n

By shedding others’ blood<\/p>\n

Are non-humans worse than animals.<\/p>\n

Today and tomorrow<\/p>\n

The ones who decide their fate<\/p>\n

Are themselves.<\/p>\n

HAM PARABAVATHO MUKHAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who becomes very proud of his race,<\/p>\n

wealth and clan and push down his relatives,<\/p>\n

that also is a reason for his downfall.<\/p>\n
