Translation
O Lord, why this cosmic game
is embedded in creation and destruction?
No one knows.
I am unable to understand,
Why You strike thunderbolts
and again pull me close to You?
No one knows.
You remain in my mind and in my life.
You are in knowledge and in meditation.
In the arena of action
You swing the core of my heart
by Your coming and going.
No one knows.
My eyes enjoy both deep darkness and colorful light.
And yet, even by the application
of the ointment of knowledge
I am unable to grasp Your beginning nor Your end.
O Lord, why this cosmic game is embedded
in creation and destruction?
No one knows.
