Wanting What?

The worldly man knows what he wants & gets it. I don't know what I want, therefore,
there's nothing to get, otherwise,
it would be nagging me to manifest.

All want
derives from
a sense of lack.

Trying to
fill the hole
with an abundance
of desires
is endless.

Any idiot can
live in the world
with desires;
try living
in your world
with no desires.

The desire to live
is the messenger
of death,
Longing to be happy
is the outline
of sorrow.

Next time a desire
starts nagging at you
ask yourself,
"Would I be prepared
to die for it?"

Only the man
with a silent mind
can help.

Would you jump in the water
to save a drowning man
if you could not swim?

I made my best effort
to help people & failed
It was only then
that I received the knowledge;
'Leave them alone &
they will come home'.

If your best effort
isn't good enough,
what then?

Why take the lesser
when the greater is at hand?

When you believe
you are the doer
then always
do your best.
It manifests
self-respect.

One has to keep
themselves jolly &
tell themselves a good joke
once in a while.

The future is imaginary.
One can only guess.
Even the best psychics
can still only predict
the imaginary future.

No one has a real future ahead of them.
There is no such thing as a real future.

The only way to live in the world is with no investment in it. If you have an investment in the world you have to take care of it. If you believe it to be real then you are heavily invested.

Violence is incidental
in the face of love.

Whatever
burns fast
gets hot.

No more bandaid jobs! Have you ever noticed that a bandage is easy to put on and causes discomfort when ripped off?

Have you ever noticed
the amount of times
America has declared war?
The war on poverty - lost it!
The war on illiteracy - lost it!
The war on drugs - lost it!
What do you think the chances are
for the war on terror?

You can stick
with your modern ways
and I'll stick
with the primal.

The true
use
of life.
