The role of Kama

Kama primarily means sexual desire,

A potential energy embedded

In every individual alike

By way of pleasure reward, to exist.

Any form of desire has its tap root

From Kama and any activity

Ardently pursued is the modified

Or the sublimated desire of Kama.

Kama is the root of the chief pleasure.

But for Kama, where are the erotic

Arts and poetry viewed with interest

Across generations and territories?

But for Kama, where could be jealousy,

Revenge and anger in operation

With such passion and energy in life.

Sacrifice also is Kama’s tendency.

Kama is the other side of Dharma. [virtue]

Kama is a duty one does for oneself.

Dharma is a duty one does for others.

Kama is looked upon as an obstacle

To spirituality by all religions

And is permitted within marital frame.

Kama with its pleasure as a bait creates,

Maintains and terminates an individual.
