The Prisoner Who Is Already King



As a human being, you are a king prostrating before your servants. You are a prisoner walled in by your own ignorance. You are a master of the universe begging for a crumb of bread. Would you be free? None hold you back but yourself!

The ills of the human race are a whirlwind of passionate sensations leading to bankruptcy. Every indulgence of the senses has its price. Every pleasure must be paid for. So pay! Pay! Pay! Go ahead, chase the mirage; become tired of the sham, counterfeit and hypocrisy. Turn homeward—and find more turbulence.

The key to eliminating desire lies with the guru. He can pinpoint the desires that bind you and give you the means to overcome them.
