There was a time
When 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.
