The Easy Way Such is my Way It involves little deprivation
I enjoy drink, women, food
I sleep comfortably
I've never seen a Bodhi tree
I am involved in the world
People tell me that nirvana
Nirvana is not reached this way
Where is my discipline, my sacrifice?
What can I say?
My Way is the Way of Sensation
I am of this world
I am in this world
I am this world
If I ever touch god
I will use all my senses
I will need all my senses
If my Way is seen as easy
It is because it is
Seeking god should not be hard
God is all around us, in us
So, I live a natural, mindful life
Exploring the thing that is me
The world that is me
Traveling my easy path
As long as I can
Towards heaven
