What keeps you occupied?
What keeps you up?
What keeps you going?

-Desire.

Designed to breed dissatisfaction
And to keep you perpetually chasing fulfillment
Your desires thrive by robbing you of peace.
You experience an emotional hunger, thirst and want
And therefore, by extension also, anxiety, fear and anger
Believing that these are the price
You must pay to reach bliss and tranquility.
You believe that the achievement of peace requires ambition.

But tranquility is a heaven that is yours to claim
It need not be sought through a climb
Or through consumption.
Peace is a way of life
Unencumbered by conditions
On that way, the mind is quiet.
It has learned how to be still.
On that way, work is an offering
Not an endurance of enslavement.

On this path love alone exists
Freed from desire
You can now simply be.
