" BALANCE " MY PHOTO, ©

No description available.

The truth, my friend, is that: Our body has enslaved us, and has made us serve it Day and night, winter and summer, from the first day It was born. It never reduces its demands, It is never satisfied, It is never pleased, no matter what we provide it with, But it always is asking for more without ever being Happy. If We do not revolt against this tyrant of our spirit, This despot of our mind, This autocrat of our senses, and make it reduce its desires to The levels of what is absolutely necessary for its wellbeing, It would be impossible for our mental and spiritual growth to Become evident, and the balance in our soul to be apparent, Thus We would, forever, remain slaves to this lustful and insatiable beast, Without ever having the chance to become, what God intended us to be: His reflection upon earth! © Demetrios Trifiatis 25 June 2021

Wow, such excellent written poetry; our bodies and brains are despots controlled by a devil that we must rebel against to regain control of ourselves: fantastic imagery and symbolism, blessings, and best wishes of good health and happiness.

Asda spiritually inclined person I fully agree with you. Until we detach from our body and senses and mind we can never get salvation. Well written friend. Many would benefit from your writes. God bless!

So true Demetrios, it often seems that we're never satisfied always wanting more. But following his teachings to the letter will go some way to shaking off the shackles that enslave us. Tom
