Have you ever imagined being liberated?
Being free from all pain, all craving, all restless nights,
a body unshackled, bones light as wind,
a mind quiet as the midnight sky.
The road has been long, traveled alone,
yet the journey circles back to where it all began
the center, the unknown, the all.
Silence speaks louder than words,
profit whispers only in stillness.
Freedom demands a cost;
sacrifices rise like mountains in our path.
Scoffers laugh, renounce the truth,
destroying themselves in shadows
while the awakened watch silently.
Chances never existed.
Only Laws have always turned the wheel.
Free will dances in the faculties,
but the heart knows its own rhythm.
Once man awakens,
his true essence unfolds,
and the past, present, and future
dissolve into the quiet pursuit of liberation.
Are you ready to shed the flesh that binds you?
To release the chains of desire, of speech, of thought?
The heart holds the key.
The warrior waits, patient, silent,
striking only when truth calls.
Liberation is shedding the hunger that binds the soul,
letting the body breathe without craving,
free from the chains of fleeting pleasure.
Liberation is silence beyond words,
speech untangled, thought unshackled,
for every uttered word can cage the mind.
Liberation is release from pain, from desire,
from the endless tug of the finite self.
It is the soul rising above the wheel,
untouched by the weight of flesh,
beyond the pull of fleeting emotions.
How much will you surrender for your freedom?
Flesh clings, mind resists,
but the heart whispers the path of the true warrior.
Man holds the key to his own liberation —
not in noise, nor in struggle,
but in quiet, in courage,
and in the patient shedding of all that is not eternal.
