68. Masters

Standing in a courtyard in the brilliance of the Sun
My body is washed and thoroughly cleansed
to the prayers of Satguru Shi Baba

I alone am taken to the Emperor King of Jade

Yu Huang who rules the Heavens and all of Earth as well
I bow before him with a smile and sit beneath his feet
and I do bite upon his toe receiving all his power

I stand and look outside the window of my mother's house
to see the Buddha loving, playing and bringing things to life
Lord Vishnu stands above me eyeing me intently
and shakes and quivers as his arms all sprinkle me with grace

And finally, to set me on a grand and noble path
does the prophet Muhammad offer prayers
across the earth and heavens...

Horoia taku tinana ki nga wai o Inia
ki nga kupu karakia, o Satguru Shi Baba
Katahi ka haria enei pia e wha

He Atua nui o Aiha e rite ki a Io
Manaakita ra e ia nga Rangi Tuhaha
a, ngaua nei ko te konui o tenei Atua Yu Huang

Ki tona mana ka haere au ki te kainga o taku whaea
Kei reira ko te Atua Buddha e kata, e mene ana
Ka hau mai hoki i te kuaha ko te AtuaVishnu
a, iria ki taku pani tona mana e

Kia mutu ki nga tikanga me nga kawa pai
ka tuku whakamoemiti a Muhammad ki te rangi
Ka hau mai nei te aroha e te Wheao Ihirama
kia tupu pai, nga taonga nei, ki roto i ahau
