Acrostic for an ascetic

Suffering is the only all-pervasive reality
Come now, let Buddha give you some clarity
How can we go past the transcendental fence
Of course we see everything through Kantian lens
Picture a Will, striving, relentless, always hungry
Every night before I sleep it speaks to me
No one else made bodily feeling central 
How can we ignore what seems noumenal
Advait is the solace of my life and death
Unity of being, universe in a breath
Every piece of music is Will's incarnation 
Representing that without representation
