Quest

Does, like birds and beasts, gratifying daily needs suffice? What's more? What should I aim at? Like a sage, where should I go? The things and beings I see here are, no doubt, nice and wise. Has a breeze or storm yet a single direction to blow? Gaining true liberation and eternal salvation Moving from all that is the world's ignorance to wisdom Deserts of desires and delusions with dedication Should be audaciously opposed, withstood, and overcome. To that heaven of freedom and happiness, I should go Should encounter the almighty, the angels, and the saints Should I stay there forever or come back? I do not know. Won't, yet, one be away from temporal mundane constraints? As glories of the sun and moon, enlightenment I'll gain To this end, I'll face any physical or psychic pain.
