CONTENTMENT AND ECSTASY The deep pursuit for riches and luxuries Often enrage the mind with new worries; From such a slumber if mind is awakened, The eye of wisdom can bloom; enlightened. If we keep on chasing the mirages of bliss The swords of desires keep on hunting us; If the fleeting worldly pleasures elate us utmost The stages of advancing life deject us the most. Caught in the webs of pleasures and desires, The pains and sufferings invite more miseries; Only our inner self possesses the vital powers To blow away the traps, lurking with hunger. Once we realize the hassles of worldly life Ignorance dissolves along with worldly grief; Yes, snap the ties of greed, ego and supremacy And lead a life, full of contentment and ecstasy.
