Effort

Give up trying so hard,

And try harder!

The things in your life

That seem so important

To you right now, aren’t;

The things in your life

That seem so unimportant

To you right now, are!

 

Stop trying to correct the world

And instead correct yourself;

This will make you happier

And you will have

More friends.

 

Start filling your mind with light

By focusing more on nirvana

And less on yourself.

 

What is nirvana?

That which is the highest,

Brightest, and purest of all.

It is the essence of all things

Both visible and invisible.

 

In meditation,

Quiet your mind

Until there is no thought.

In meditation,

Quiet your mind

Until there is no self.

In meditation,

Quiet your mind

Until there is no mind.

This is nirvana!
