Asato Ma Mantra Nilo Peech

I want to sing a mantra to you
so it’s the only thing filling your mind
so you remember that all of this is a dance
for none of us lives a life that’s a straight line

Asato mā sat gamayá
Tamaso mā jyoti gamayá
Mrityor mā amritam gamayá
Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

Remember your divine infinity,
that the rhythm shifts but never ends;
this world isn't about stability—
impermanence isn't just a trend.

Asato mā sat gamayá
Tamaso mā jyoti gamayá
Mrityor mā amritam gamayá
Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

It is the foundation of our lives;
there is neither end nor beginning.
Just as your beautiful curls fly,
our lives become ever more intertwined.

Asato mā sat gamayá
Tamaso mā jyoti gamayá
Mrityor mā amritam gamayá
Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

God jokingly granted us a license
to let everything simply take on time —
so keep on with your sensual dances;
feel every moment, and watch your mind.

Asato mā sat gamayá
Tamaso mā jyoti gamayá
Mrityor mā amritam gamayá
Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
