Deep within each person,
there lies a large reservoir
of an energy named desire,
that, to emerge, lies waiting.
Even Gods are unspared
from the forces of desire.
Such is its cosmic power
when it arises and flares.
The desire to be king.
The desire for beauty.
The desire for immortality.
The desire for strength.
In countless instances,
desire has driven
both mortals and angels
towards destruction.
Blessed are the saints
who can harness desire
like the taming of fire
in household kitchens.
Blessed are the ones
whose only desire
is to serve the Maker
through His Words.
Blessed are those
who can steadily hold
the double-edged sword
of desires in this world.
