Verily desire-less
Having no more cravings
For the temporal possessions
And sensual enjoyment
Now I seldom count
My left-over days of life
If the span is less or more.
During my journey
Realization came rather early
However meticulously I aim
With whatever precision I conduct
Destiny always has it’s design
And own plan one step ahead
Sometimes for the better
And at times even worse…
So I put a cease to brooding
And contemplating on future!
I have seldom been greedy
About my bowl of cherries*
A firm believer in letting go
Rather than saving the finest
For own personal convenience
And consumption during the life…
Mother was the best ever teacher
For me to emulate in this endeavor.
Nearly close to equanimity
By the body, mind and soul
Now of the infamous five**
That so often dictate and impair…
I am more or less free from
Except for a bit of attachment
Still left for chosen few to pamper.
Towards the twilight zone
With no cravings left
For any bowl of cherries
My soul is neither in hurry
Nor it nurtures any aspiration:
Disaffection, hate or anger anymore…
On the contrary
With a stable body and mind
My soul is in absolute bliss, with
Out-and-out harmony and peace.
* Refers to worldly pleasures and distractions; The Hindu scriptures call it ‘Maya’. **Refers to five vices, namely Lust, Anger, Ego, Greed and (excessive) Attachment responsible for the immoral conduct or fall of a person, according to the Sanatana (Hindu) way of life.
