  1. Striving and craving,
  2. For pleasure or prosperity,
  3. These are your enemies,
  4. Springing up to destroy you
  5. From the presumptions of virtue.
  6.  
  7. Let them all go.
  8. Hold on to nothing.
  9.  
  10. Every good fortune,
  11. Wives, friends, houses, lands,
  12. All these gifts and riches...
  13.  
  14. They are a dream,
  15. A juggling act,
  16. A traveling show!
  17.  
  18. A few days, and they are gone.
  19.  
  20. Consider.
  21.  
  22. Wherever there is desire,
  23. There is the world.
  24.  
  25. With resolute dispassion
  26. Free yourself from desire,
  27. And find happiness.
  28.  
  29. ~ Ashtavakra Gita (10.1-3; translation by Thomas Byrom)
