you say you want to bath, when the waves subside, is there an end to the endless mind ?



you say "let me quench my thirst,and then i ll find the truth"

why should thirst be quenched? how can you know truth ?

is there an end ?



All the days you have a body, why should longing cease ? how can you find joy?

is there an end ?



you say "after i know what lies ahead, I'll forget what was before" can you know what lies ahead?

how can you forget what was before ? Is there an end ?

you wont find it in your wildest dreams. is there an end?
