Many things of Earth
\nAre longed for
\nBy many people
\nFor whom Earth
\nIs home. <\/p>\n
People long for money.
\nPeople long to be free.
\nPeople long to be happy.
\nThings they aren’t,
\nThey long to be. <\/p>\n
It is people’s
\nMisconception,
\nThat happiness is
\nTo be found,
\nIn the things of
\nEarth around.
\nBut mere enlightened
\nPerception,
\nWould have them know
\nThat happiness can
\nOnly be found
\nWithin. <\/p>\n
Their desire is
\nFocused on these,
\nFutile and temporary
\nThough they be,
\nIn delusions of
\nHappiness;
\nFor their Desire is free. <\/p>\n
Already possessed
\nIs the freedom
\nThey Desire:
\nFreedom of Desire.
\nAll that need be done
\nIs for Desire to be
\nFocused on One;
\nOneness, that is
\nHappiness,
\nThat is bliss;
\nOneness,
\nThat is;
\nThat has more
\nValue than value;
\nThat no money can
\nBuy. <\/p>\n
But to try
\nTo suppress desire,
\nIs to suppress the
\nActive part of
\nLife itself.
\nTo focus one’s desire
\nShall key one in
\nTo the vast wealth
\nThat is the universe. <\/p>\n
People are all;
\nAnd everything.
\nFor people then
\nTo want to be
\nWhat they are not,
\nIs based in people’s
\nMisguided fantasy.<\/p>\n
People have Desire,
\nAnd the Consciousness
\nTo decide;
\nThey have all they need
\nTo be and get
\nAll they want.
\nWhich is all they
\nHave.
\nAll their
\nWishes,
\nIf they’d be
\nAware of the vast
\nMystery –
\nThe Oneness
\nThat should be their wish,
\nCan be theirs. <\/p>\n
Their only wish
\nShould then be
\nTo have no wish. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
