A pair of dancers dancing the salsa dance steps on the dance floor.
Graceful moves forward and backward.
Taking one step forward movement,
Then open up space back one step.
Two steps forward,
Followed by two steps back.
Life is always like a salsa movement.
A balanced life.
Taking a breath,
Then release the breath.
Is greedy, just know to take,
Without ever want to give.
Life is about the principle of reciprocity.
Giving and receiving.
Want to give advise,
Also would be advised.
Want to teach,
Also should want to be taught.
Feeling right to reprimand,
Also should be heartened to be reprimanded.
Do not want to be hurt,
So, do not hurt anybody.
Want to be appreciated,
Then respect other people.
Sometimes aggressive,
Sometimes introspective.
demanding,
Then charged.
Then charged.
Lead,
Led.
Work,
Rest.
Sometimes, we hold our head,
Another times, we need to bow our heads.
Chime in the law of balancing.
Living like salsa dance.
When moving forward, we may experienced success.
Until one time, would come for us to step back.
Forward and backward.
Backward and forward.
And so on.
That's earthly life.
However, to achieve the level of inner purity,
There is no moving forward taking someone else's space,
But moving up the ranks high in the hearts and minds of our own.
An arahant always stepped up,
hike,
Never decreases.
In earthly life, we do forward and backward movement.
In the spiritual world, we must continue to climb upwards,
My friends, do not move down.

Sepasang penari menarikan
gerakan tari salsa di lantai dansa.
Bergerak gemulai maju dan mundur.
Mengambil gerak maju satu
langkah,
Kemudian membuka ruang mundur
satu langkah.
Maju dua langkah,
Dilanjutkan dengan mundur dua
langkah.
Hidup bagai gerakan salsa.
Hidup yang seimbang.
Menarik nafas,
Kemudian melepaskan nafas.
Adalah tamak, hanya tahu untuk
mengambil,
Tanpa pernah mau memberi.
Hidup adalah perihal asas
timbal-balik.
Memberi dan menerima.
Mau menasehati,
Juga mau dinasehati.
Mau mengajari,
Juga harus mau diajari.
Merasa berhak menegur,
Juga harus berbesar jiwa
untuk ditegur.
Tak ingin disakiti,
Maka tidak menyakiti.
Ingin dihargai,
Maka menghargai.
Kadang agresif,
Kadang introspektif.
Menuntut,
Maka dituntut.
Memimpin,
Dipimpin.
Bekerja,
Beristirahat.
Kadang menegakkan kepala,
Kadang menundukkan kepala.
Berpadu dalam hukum
keseimbangan.
Hidup bagai tarian salsa.
Dalam langkah maju, mungkin
kita mengalami kesuksesan.
Hingga suatu waktu, akan tiba
bagi kita untuk melangkah mundur.
Maju dan mundur.
Mundur dan maju.
Begitu seterusnya.
Itulah kehidupan duniawi.
Namun untuk mencapai tingkat
kesucian batin,
Tiada bergerak maju mengambil
ruang orang lain,
Namun bergerak menanjak
tinggi di dalam hati dan pikiran kita sendiri.
Seorang Arahat selalu menapak
keatas,
Mendaki,
Tidak pernah menurun.
Dalam hidup duniawi, kita
bicara maju dan mundur.
Dalam dunia spiritual, kita
harus terus mendaki keatas,
Kawanku, janganlah menurun.
