Transformation of desire in aspiration
Desire is the tyrannical king of all human beings
Desire is the fire put in man by God in His divine wisdom.
Man roams ceaselessly in search of happiness, always disappointed.
The smoking black fire grows, becomes intense, more and more clear.
Man abandons hunting for a short lived material happiness.
The desire becomes more refined, it pursues a less fragile happiness.
One day when man has tasted, exhausted all the known happiness,
He turns his glance to the unexplored Infinity, to the unknown.
The earthly fire becomes a sacred flame which rises towards the sky.
Desire is transformed into a burning aspiration for the eternal joy,
World is supported by the divine Felicity hidden in the atoms.
Attracting by His irresistible bliss, the supreme Divinity
Leads all the creation towards the sublime metamorphosis.
The being who tasted only once the nectar of immortality roams no more.
The long , mad, painful search stops.
All in him burns as a single flame, a single appeal
" Come my love, O Lord of bliss. "
The ant does not look any more for sugar
It swims in an ocean of bliss.
