Poezja

A step to freedom,
If bitter bygones fade,
As deeds all done,
Now cannot be undone.
 
A step to freedom,
If detachment prevails,
Nothing to call mine,
Sign of a stable mind.
 
A step to freedom,
If equality perceived,
Decrease in suffering,
Experience of blessing.
 
A step to freedom,
If senses subdued,
Command with will power,
Command over laziness.
 
A step to freedom,
If struggle persists,
To escape bondage,
To enjoy liberty.
 
A step to freedom,
If human nature identified,
Contrast in being and acting,
Harmony of soul and body.
