507. My progress
There was a timeWhen I tried hard to avoid desires.
Now desires avoid me, my aspiration.
There was a time
When I tried hard to avoid doubts.
Now doubts avoid me, my faith.
There was a time
When I tried hard to avoid fear.
Now fear avoids me, my courage.
There was a time
When I tried hard to avoid temptation.
Now temptation avoids me, my liberation.
