Apart from myself

O Buddha!!

If the path guided by you

not going to turn into a barrier

in my route

in the route that leads to prosperity

to facility and comfort 

But perhaps that's not the way to happiness
neither that's far from worries
nor protects me from spiritual diseases .. 

The path can make me to feel safe from gunmen 

from the terror of Dons
but I'm full of doubts 

if it's able enough to absorb the fears 

the fear that sprouts from any corner every now and then

Even our routs are not crossing each other

and if they do,

does there exist the path

which could assure my guiltless return,

my repent-less coming back

which could make me to feel comfort and safe

on changing my own philosophy...

Can I be there with that much ease

without any remorse

whenever I feel that I'm sick of the wandering around..

Can that open the doors of possibilities

of joining your lane again

on the nearest four-way?

or can they lead me to devote myself 

to follow into your footsteps

making me carefree from all the conditions..

Will the expectations surely get volatile
Will I really rush towards your path losing interest in myself

Will my merge into your aura not be called as 

my greed into search of pleasure?

an escape from problems,

absconding from miseries?

If the way I follow at the moment
can’t grant me the state,

which may be equal in even and odd

which may consider a subject to the 

circumstances 

and an object to itself.

Can this 'I' not be separated from myself?
