what is pleasant <br />what gives pleasure <br />the mind records memory of; <br />what is painful <br />what gives discomfort <br />that too <br />the mind records memory of; <br />and the mind learns to crave for one <br />and to recoil from the other <br />and so our lives are formed <br />from every pleasure, from every comfort <br />and every choice we make; <br />there is nothing there in our lives <br />but craving and recoiling <br />and the mind that sees this conditioning <br />that mind is free of traps <br />that mind is free of memory <br />it recognizes the way it is made to operate<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-pleasant-and-what-is-painful/
