"Meditation: This Day"


From the ancient Sanskrit
         yet as new as this day
                  our meditation:

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the verities and
   realities of your existence:
      The bliss of growth,
      The glory of action,
      The splendor of beauty;
   For yesterday is but a dream,
   And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday
      a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
      Look well, therefore, to this day.

Amen

I wonder what the ancient Sanskrit says. Is this an adaptation of a translation? Or does Bob secretly read and write Sanskrit?
