Desire Is Life Force Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Desire is the cause of motions and life.
Life is full of desires, which are its force.
Desire is the outcome of experience.
Mind relentlessly seeks experience.

Desire is nothing but one's memory.
The strong memory yields strong will power.
Memories formed have no delete buttons.
Some are deep down beyond recollection.

Desires are something we want to nurture
So that one seeks food, sex, love and pleasure.
Also sought are wealth, power, rank and fame.
Safety, happiness and success are sought.

Desire must meet the satiation point.
Desire must leak out in sublimation.
Desire to survive causes evolution.
Let desire clings to any harmless stakes.
