Through eyes, ears, tongue, skin & nose
This river of craving flows
Craving has wrapped all this life,
Like a creeper grows around a tree.
One should cut this creeper of craving
With the weapon of wisdom. -

There is a little pleasure
Coming out of craving,
When expectations, are met.
Living beings are swayed by it
They begin to look for that pleasure
They are born in this Samsara again & again -
Isn’t it extraordinary that our minds cannot stay still for longer than a few moments without grasping after distraction? They are so restless and preoccupied that sometimes I think that living in a city in the modern world, we are already like the tormented beings in the intermediate state after death, where the consciousness is said to be agonizingly restless.
We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don’t know who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should identify with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find ourselves scattered everywhere, in all directions, leaving nobody at home.
Meditation, then, is bringing the mind home. -
