Know that you and I are one.
You can realize this only by intense spiritual discipline,
that is not marred by anger, envy and greed..
the vices that sprout from the ego.
When you get angry, you act as if
you are possessed by an evil spirit.
Your face becomes ugly and frightful.
Heed that signal, and take yourself to a quiet spot.
Do not give free vent to wicked vocabulary.
Envy and greed also emanate from the ego
and have to be carefully watched and controlled.
Like the tadpole's tail, the ego
will fall away when one grows in wisdom.
Develop wisdom, discriminate and know
the ephemeral nature of all objective things.
