The world will end in joy,
because it is a place of sorrow.
When joy has come,
the purpose of the world has gone.
~
The world will end in peace,
because it is a place of war.
When peace has come,
what is the purpose of the world?
~
The world will end in laughter,
because it is a place of tears.
Where there is laughter,
who can longer weep?
~
And only complete forgiveness
brings all this to bless the world.
In blessing it departs,
for it will not end as it began.
~
[The end] will not come
until it is no longer
associated with fear.
~
Who could flee
forever
from the truth?
~
One day each one
will welcome it,
and on that very day
it will be given him.
~
[And] to all who stand aside
in quiet listening,
one instant out of time
can bring time's end.
~
It is your function to
make that end be soon.
~
It is your function
to hold it to your heart,
and offer it to all the world
to keep it safe.

How will this Dream World End?
