The desires that cling to
the mind are the blemishes
that tarnish man's inner consciousness.
Control the senses;
do not yield to their
insistent demands for satisfaction.
When the senses are negated,
the mind too disappears.
When the mind disappears,
delusion dies and liberation is achieved.
All the joy you crave for is
in fact within you; but you suffer
like a man who has vast riches in the iron chest,
but, who has no idea where the key is.
With proper directions,
dwelling upon them in the
silence of meditation,
it is possible to secure the key,
open the chest and be rich in joy.
