Grasping

- Rev Upali
University of Peradeniya

Eyes for seeing,
Ears to hear
Nose for smelling
And choose only the dear
Once you see, hear, see or smell
Again you wish that to be eternal
Thus occurs grasping upon  the external world
You tangle your mind, thoughts, and create a ‘self’- being bold!
You forget the true power within
Not knowing that you are strayed, spend your life struggling
