Acceptance based on faith And blind intuition Was the first step on the path. A light from a dark solid rock A lotus blossom from a murky pond. The path to Nirvana has no guideposts Often overgrown or even sandy And shifting beneath our feet. But true pilgrims persevere And follow the silent call Of destiny or dharma or desire, Not earthly desires, For they are a temptress And an illusion, But unseen desires, Unfelt desires, Deep desires that complete A Karmic fate. Our journey is pure and Preordained, If we melt into oneness And feel the soft petals Beneath our blistered feet.

Yet Another Argument from Human Nature
Acceptance based on faith And blind intuition Was the first step on the path. A light from a dark solid rock A lotus blossom from a murky pond. The path to Nirvana has no guideposts Often overgrown or even sandy And shifting beneath our feet. But true pilgrims persevere And follow the silent call Of destiny or dharma or desire, Not earthly desires, For they are a temptress And an illusion, But unseen desires, Unfelt desires, Deep desires that complete A Karmic fate. Our journey is pure and Preordained, If we melt into oneness And feel the soft petals Beneath our blistered feet.
