DREAD DESIRE

SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

DREAD DESIRE
If we throw fuel on strong desire,
'Twill set ablaze a fierce forest fire,
Taking us away from effort needed
For the sadhana we've been heeded,
By dear Sat Guru dwelling in the Heart,
From through God's boundless grace we'll never part.
Disastrous desires are gold and lust
These wanton urges will hurl us in the dust.
'Tis wiser to act from the purity of Love
As preordained by the good Lord above.
A dangerous threat is mindless greed,
Desiring what we never really need.
All our wants are provided by Grace,
If we keep full faith and dread desire efface.
