Kleshas

People live with longing,

not knowing what they must live for.

People live in this world

laughing, crying, talking, and sighing.

The sadness passes with the years,

but one lives attached to it.

The Universe exists as it is

and thus all creations in the world

are absent of attachments.

There is no sadness in the Universe,

but man alone has countless kleshas.

Man alone thinks ceaselessly in vain

and thus lives creating useless kleshas.
