Page 188 - One poem/piece (peace) of The Journey Home by Radhanath Swami

Attachment is itself a great 

Burden on our minds

Creates artificial needs

Detached and sincere

Enlightened

Find joy within... Free of endless complications

Gone

Heavy burden

I walked away

Just as suddenly as I had felt despair, I felt liberated

Knowledge and inspiration

Live a simple life, free of endless complications

Mind creates artificial needs 

Nature of the mind is to interpret Nonessentials essential
