MAYA TO YOU

Bury in yourself all the desires 
that are a trap and a binding 
thread for this world. 
Survive Maya's first death which is like a blessing. 
Once the old man in you dies, another time the body dies, 
while the soul has its circle of movement in eternity. 
Maya endure all the hardships, because this life is like a dream. 
Maya does not regret anything. 



IF YOU WANT 

If you want peace, keep it in your mind, 
Don't look for peace in places where it doesn't exist. 
If you want glory, it comes by glorifying God, not by having influential friends, 
We, poets, are like flowers, we grow from the rain 
we receive as grace, some are roses, some are weeds, there are many of us, 
let's connect only if we have similar sensibilities. 
If you want to be a particle in the bridges that connect the whole world, 
you need to open your heart more strongly and sincerely embrace your brothers and sisters around the world. 
If you want peace, you can't get it
if you don't respect the cows that feed the whole world with milk, 
if you don't want war in the world, 
remember that God and all his followers are watching with sadness how cows are killed en masse, 
wars in the world will not stop if we are not compassionate towards cows and all other beings.
If you want peace, keep it in your mind and don't disturb anyone who walks beside you.
