A Unique Pain


 

Troubled by a unique pain I am,

By the pain, that is three-folds -

Erupting from within,

Caused by the outside,

By the planets and the stars.

There exists the desire to know

Because I try to know

I can discriminate

And because I know

Everything for me is painful,

All of my experiences have given me pain

Even my joy, riddled with pain,

Makes me weep,

Nobody is happy anywhere.

Now, 

Pain has made me indifferent to material things,

I must renounce the world by not clinging to life.

I should get rid of all desires and longings,

Seek absolute freedom from thirst,

Thereby, the cessation of pain

To escape Time.
