' Freedom From Desires '...

Only contentment can make you happy -
desires fulfilled breed more desires.

Keeping away from all desires and
contentment in what comes by itself
is a very fruitful state - a precondition
to the state of fulness.

Don't distrust
its apparent sterility and emptiness.

Believe me, it is the satisfaction of
desires that breeds misery.

Freedom
from desires is bliss.
