' Desire for Existence '...

If you want a kingdom and get it, you'll have no peace. ............................ If you give it away, still you won't be content. ............................. Only a soul free of desire can taste eternity. ............................ Be living, yet dead! Then knowing comes to live in you. ............................. - Lalla 14th Century North Indian mystic ` ` ` ` ` ` ` From "Naked Song" Versions by Coleman Barks Maypop 1992
