Nirvana
by Russell Hasan

Ignore Hell.
Pay attention to Heaven.
See everything.
Remember nothing.
Think nothing.
Be aware of nothing.
Know everything.
Enjoy everything.
Enjoy life.
Enjoy your life.
Enjoy being alive.
This is not to say
That you should satisfy
The carnal gratification urges of the moment
Without regard to punishment or consequences.
Sex, drugs, and music
The pleasure of sensations
Those things do not exist in Heaven.
Those things exist only in Hell.
The sins of the flesh are stupid
Stupidity belongs to Hell.
Intelligence and reason belong to Heaven.
If not those things,
Then what do people do
To enjoy life
In Heaven?
Read a good book
Or something of that sort.
Something where
You make use of
Your mind.
Not your body.
Free will
The soul
Is the capacity
To choose good or evil
Your mind, the capacity to choose good
Your body, the capacity to choose evil
Your mind, immortal
Your body, your mortality
So the stronger is your free will
The better is your ability to choose good
And the more powerful is your ability to choose evil.
Thus, the health of the mind
Is the health of the body
Is the health of the soul.
The health of your body
Reflects the sharpness of your free will
So the ideal is that
You should have a perfect body
And never use it.
To have a perfect ability to choose evil
And to never do so.
But to have a great mind
And to use it.

That is the type of poem in this collection. I hope that you enjoyed it and that you will enjoy reading the rest of them
