Be Careful About the Self
The self exists like a tree
A tree is a river of action
Shaped by its individuality
Interacting with the environment
it strives and creates its own form
In this way it is strong
And brings fourth delicious fruit
In the same way
A man can grow free and strong
In individuality
And still taste the fruit
Of pure awareness
Why regulate trees?
Why regulate men?
There is another motive
In destroying the self
And that is control.
