Contentment is the Key

 

Contentment is the key

All the Sages from the East know one thing

And they teach that one thing for thousands of years

It took me over fifty years to hear that one thing

I am glad that one thing works

Because it leads me to see far

Hear better

And reflect deeper.

(2)

“Do not compromise with your Ahamkara!”[1]

Insist the Hindu Gurus of India 

“Understand you as Anatman[2] and be compassionate!”

Urged by the Dalai Lama of Tibet

“Do what water does!”

Advised Laozi and Confucius of the Far East.

(3)

Standing next to the blossoming Cherry tree in my backyard

Seeing the great flag of America is proudly flying at my front door

Whispering to the thrilling messages of the early Spring

I heard my heart’s invocation 

I tasted the sweetness of the air I breath

I am truly contented

Truly happy

Truly integrated.

(4)

Contentment is the key to being happy

Things you possess possess you…

(5)

Blaming others

Always looks outwardly

Not critically examine who we are

And act accordingly

Make no correction or overcorrecting

No happiness for individuals of this kind.

(6)

Contentment is not the cohort of LBS[3]

Contentment is the light of critical reasoning

That penetrates everyone’s basic humanity

(7)

“Be content and you will be happy!”

I repeat this sacred mantra quietly to myself 

(8)

Oh, my dear mate

Either you feel contented or discontented 

May you never forget this simplest truth
May I live in the light of these holly words from the sunset to the sunrise!

I sincerely plead with my conscious because 
Seeing no ego-self is the ultimate contentment!

(9)

Oh my dear mate 

Go and talk to these sages of the East

Do and test what they have already perfected!

May all sentient beings be free from the tortures of their very own Ego!
