Like Taking Off An Old Shoe AKA Death
from Ram Dass : Chapter III (2019) by East Forest, Ram Dass
lyrics
Death is a ceremony
In which one takes off one pair of clothes
And adopts a new one
That’s from the soul perspective
From the ego
Death is a stopping point
It’s the end of the ego
The ego sees death as suffering
And the soul
See death as the awakening
Of a new world
A new perception
So you should identify
With your soul in life
That will be the best thing for you to do
To anticipate death
It’s your Sadhana in life
Your Sadhana prepares you
Prepares you for a upbeat dying
In which one takes off one pair of clothes
And adopts a new one
That’s from the soul perspective
From the ego
Death is a stopping point
It’s the end of the ego
The ego sees death as suffering
And the soul
See death as the awakening
Of a new world
A new perception
So you should identify
With your soul in life
That will be the best thing for you to do
To anticipate death
It’s your Sadhana in life
Your Sadhana prepares you
Prepares you for a upbeat dying
