- Striving and craving,
- For pleasure or prosperity,
- These are your enemies,
- Springing up to destroy you
- From the presumptions of virtue.
- Let them all go.
- Hold on to nothing.
- Every good fortune,
- Wives, friends, houses, lands,
- All these gifts and riches...
- They are a dream,
- A juggling act,
- A traveling show!
- A few days, and they are gone.
- Consider.
- Wherever there is desire,
- There is the world.
- With resolute dispassion
- Free yourself from desire,
- And find happiness.
- ~ Ashtavakra Gita (10.1-3; translation by Thomas Byrom)
