In Buddhism, purpose of life is mindful self-development: A non-poem on the Buddha Day 2025

NON-POEM ON SELF-DEVELOPMENT


Real development in transient life is -
Self-development -
Development of the self
By the self
For the self
Which is continuous -
That's the aim

~*~

Worldly development-
Is materialistic
Is objectified
Is sensual
Is competitive
Is conflicting
Is deluding

~*~

When the aim is 
Self-development
Then  vanish
All  cravings
All limitations
All narrowness
All disunity

~*~

Get into
The process of self-development
Strive continually
From moment-to-moment
To know the purpose, meaning and connect
