Three Causes For The Spiritual Ignorance! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Three Causes For The Spiritual Ignorance!



Said to be the ropy bond of attachment with desires,

Running behind the chariot of likes in many ways
on many things without severing it,

Clearly said to be the words of lie
as the darkness of enmity

Are the three causes for the spiritual ignorance!

When these things are severed,
the occurrence of rebirth is aborted!

The poem speaks of the universal truth... our desires and the untruth that we speak are the causes behind our spiritual ignorance... well expressed
