Desire<br />
From seeds of lust<br />
Unceasing creatures born<br />
If anything, desire nothing ‐<br />
Abstinence attains nirvana<br />
To feel oneself content<br />
Surpasses all sensations<br />
When yearning for truth<br />
Spurn burning desires<br />
Want snares the world<br />
Renunciation frees us<br />
As seducing produces sin<br />
Asceticism dreads desire<br />
Souls uprooted from desire<br />
Planted in salvation<br />
Ruthless sorrows accompany desire<br />
Incessant & increasing<br />
When minds defuse desire<br />
Happiness flows unbroken<br />
Extracting desire’s rotten cancer<br />
Ensures harmonious life<br />

Fate<br />
On indolence & industry<br />
Karma acts appropriately<br />
Both folly & prosperity<br />
Engineered by fate<br />
Despite studying polished treatises<br />
Fate sways minds<br />
Both wisdom & wealth<br />
By destiny decreed<br />
Through mortal money making<br />
Fate’s pendulum swings<br />
Property’s preservation & dissipation<br />
Ordained by destiny<br />
Millionaires control no wealth<br />
Destiny determines spending<br />
However much we study<br />
Fate clouds intelligence<br />
If Karmic benevolence delights<br />
Accept her malevolence<br />
Beneath unavoidable, unassailable destiny<br />
Humanity helplessly whimpers
Change language
