Every living thing on earth has its unique soul;
And each and every soul has its specific goal;
After death the body dies but the soul does not.
Like a pupil who is failed appears for the exams
Time and again, until he scores pass marks,
The soul also passes from one body to another,
Until freed from the bondage of birth and death.
To unfold spiritually and to evolve itself, the soul,
According to its own karma, is born again and again.
Each time the soul takes on a new body,
It continues its evolution and is reincarnated,
And the purpose of this whole exercise is to get Moksha.
We are here because an eternal God created us;
As a drop of water merges with its source, the ocean,
After reaching its perfection,
The soul merges into God, its creator.
