If there is no getting away from
wanting and not wanting
then at least
want what is Truth
and not want what brings you away from Truth.
If there is no getting away from
desiring and not desiring
then at least
desire what brings Freedom
and not desire what binds you from Freedom.
If there is no getting away from
righteousness
then at least
be righteous in the practice
and not waver pointlessly.
If there is no getting away from
having and not having
then at least
have clarity
and not have ambiguity.
If there is no getting away from
needing and not needing
then at least
need sanity
and not need insanity.
If there is no getting away from
greed
then at least
greed for Wisdom
that slays the unreality or reality.
Where you would surely arrive at
a want-less, desire-less, righteousness-less, having-less, need-less and greed-less state
which leads you to what
you ultimately want
which is peace and freedom.
If you are saying that
peace
is not what you want
and it is money, love, career, sex, power, fame
or what have you
that you wish
consider again deeply
where all that you mention
after you have seemingly achieved them each or all
where they could seemingly
lead you
to where you truly want to be.
You’d realise somehow
sooner or later
how what you want
has never been any different
from what anybody wants
hence finally understanding
how everyone is
fighting
struggling
aggressive
hostile
belligerent
rebellious
pugnacious
against
oneself
everyone
the world
over the same thing
just for that one same thing
which is
P-E-A-C-E
and
F-R-E-E-D-O-M.
