THE INTERDEPENDENT LINKS OF REPETITIVE HISTORY

"THE INTERDEPENDENT LINKS of REPETITIVE HISTORY"

In the Beginning there was no Beginning, and from here the Beginning Began. A sad state of sorrow (the illusion of tomorrow) when a creature proclaims "I am". Twenty-times viewed, bound and subdued, conceit claims cognition. Angrily averting (the creature is stirring) compulsive craving becomes the mission. How is it so then that the "person" should "know" when veils of ignore-ance engulf the Mind? Dazed and confused, most destined to lose, the worldly one takes the bait. Coming and going (yet seldomly knowing) the doer of deeds dictates the fate. Agitated with thirst, repeatedly rehearsed, energized action stirs the Great Cosmic Wind. Blowing and blowing, the aggregates are growing, consciousness descends, mind-body begins; please forgive me for "I" have sinned. When six-bases become real, through contact they feel, the uninstructed begin to attach. Intensified desire (the one we serve as if Sire) surely ensure that a rebirth occur; hence the "Human" shall rightfully hatch. With all the suffering and pain it's so hard to maintain; on the verge of insane; the defilements unslain; wreck havoc on brain; the lifeforce will drain; please no more shall they gain; enough, I distain! Free us from this prison! Please, I say please, please free us from this prison.
