Defiled Beings...... Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Defiled Beings......



Influenced by greed,
Incensed by hate,
Confused by delusion,
Overcome by them,
Obsessed by mind,
a man chooses
for his own affliction,
for others' affliction,
for the affliction of both,
and experiences pain and grief.
- Gauthama Buddha

Greed, hatred and delusion
Nestling ‘n wrestling within oneself
Wins, he who tames

The winner is the one who can overcome his base, evolutionary, animal instincts
