Vaapaaran

A trader is only as good as his last trade

He lets his winnings run and cuts his losses

A mystic trader - a vaapaaree

mercilessly executes his desires

and trades in the material life for the spiritual.

His clutter from the past has been thrown out

along with his future clutter.

Emerging clutter from the future

being his imagination of the future

Bliss is added to bliss

And dryness becomes scripture

A meditator is only as good as his last meditation

His feats of the past are forgotten.
