There is a world out there
A world of many things
Material things
When one learns to cast off the 'material'
and simply keep the thing for what it is...
Then one will find happiness away from that
filth that clouds the senses
That dust.
Author notes
I hope that you all can soon throw off the material and keep the thing for what it is, a thing. Not a lifeline, not an essential for breath, but a thing. You can live without many materials, you can live with simply a heavy stick, a bowl, clothing, and shelter. No one needs material things to live, your mind simply tricks you into thinking that you do.
