The ringing bell of a shrine,
The play of ducks in the water,
Child's innocent smile in mother's lap
Are events of pleasure to me.
When I am free of thoughts,
No worries disturb me,
My mind is calm,
I am in pleasure.
If anybody is a brute,
Who does not follow any ethics,
Goes on doing harms to all,
His defeat is a pleasure to me.
Doubts sometimes spread cloud
Making my mind restless,
The moment I get the right answer
That makes me quite happy.
When I find everybody is in joy,
Nobody does any wrong to others,
Harmony prevails all around
I get a great pleasure in it.
