lyrics

[Spoken 1]
I want to ask you about the divinity of the soul. Where is that divinity in situations imposed against its will? For example, in obligation to so-called karmic debt, or as victim at the hands of an aggressor? I ask you to dispel my confusion in such a way that I can be truly sure of my understanding.

[Spoken 2]
I want to ask you about the notion of sin. The existence of predetermined acceptable behaviour. The idea of punishment for misuse of independence. Where is the divinity of the soul if a narrow path is already decided, determined by someone else? Please explain to me in such a way that I can be certain of my comprehension.

[Chorus]
And wishful thinking not
In the place of truth
Make believe embrace
Reality this time
Self deception free

[Spoken 3]
I want to ask you about the way you view the spectrum of aspirations and desires of the individual souls. Do you favour light over dark? Your said equiposition ... is that indication of indifference? Or are you positively engaged regardless of the way the soul chooses to explore and express their divinity? Please bestow upon me clarity of vision.

[Instrumental]

[Spoken 4]
I want to ask you about acintya bhedābheda - our simultaneous oneness and difference. I want to understand the reason we exist. Do you have a plan? Is that plan already perfectly served by our very existence? Please lift the veil on my understanding in such a way I can be certain I'm not again simply slave to conditioned predispostion and prejudice.

[Repeat Chorus]
