How we survive

(2626)  Ei sandhya sindhu kule

This very evening at seashore,
Below horizon the sun sets,^[1]
A colored powder dissolved.

All the day's distress and weariness,
The error of covet-and-get's burden,
Give-and-take's fatigue intense,
Is poured onto waters of the ocean.

A painted morn will come again;
At night's end is a golden cataract,
With action-and-reaction of survival
O'er the eastern mountain of form.
