The Frenzy

The frenzy takes center stage, where it feeds on urges that reflect its animal nature. Hurried, it further imprisons itself within doubt and uncertainty. Restless yet hopeful, it begins the process of investigation. Shedding light on activity, it plays behavior on loop. Moving further away from yearning, it begins to immerse in quietude. Disengaged and energy preserving, it sets on the path to the Ultimate Reality. A space where impulses prove fruitless, and the self is relinquished. The stages of jhana are fulfilled and Nibbana is quickly approaching. Here, the mind relishes in equanimity.
