It has been said and heard by us again and again
That cause of our misery is our desire
To relive suffering we must crush desire
Rooted in our ego sense
Is it really ancient wisdom or
A dilapidated skewed up misconception ?
‘The nonbeing breathing to become being’
‘Saw desire sprouting as first seed of Cosmic mind'
On wings of desire Supreme self flew
To reside in life's bosom
To enjoy and experience
What the nonexistent was deprived of.
The desires that we fulfill bring self pleasure and joy
Equally causing pain are the unfulfilled desires
The blaming game goes around in search of cause
We could blame external factors
Fire, mudslide, earth quake, tsunami
Or any of Mother Nature's calamity
And be angry with whole creation.
Or pick upon bad timings or bad rules
And be despondent and rue
In blaming society and surrounding.
Or we could introspect and blame ourselves
Our poor skills and inability
For aspirations to achieve
What is beyond our reach
Goaded by others to do of what we have no clue
There by planting seeds potted in sunny ambitions
Watered well with greed and frustration.
Now it is not the desire that needs to be blamed
It is us not discriminating and understanding
Before running after temptations
So before you try to chase your tail like a dog
Pause for a second and prepare yourself
Of success and failure equally
No desire small or big will have power
Upon you to make you unhappy.
We have this built in will and impulse
Throbbing in our hearts to be joyous
Working through a calm, blissful and hidden entity
An offering and a contract supreme self made
With all of us to pursue happiness unequivocally
Albeit with wisdom and sincerity.
