☆ Desirelessness… ☆

☆

I’m traveling faster than the speed of light;

Yes, I’m flying at the speed of mind, astrally

Totally weightless, bereft of mortal burdens…

Detached from the worldly desires & longings…

Where there exists no yearnings, no cravings..!

*

No happiness, no sorrows, no penury, no pains,

Only I am are there… Yes, me alone, only me..!

It seems that today every wish will be fulfilled,

But I’m in a state of absolute desirelessness,

Now look at the fun, today there is no wish left..!
