follow the words on the page
forget all you have ever thought about yourself
fundamentally interested in oneself
no fear is capable of great love

so much anxiety, misery and conflict
because we are afraid of being nobody
the centre creates the space between
person
and person
|
a scratch on the mind

one pleasure dominating all other pleasure
favorite game of escape
be free of this incessant demand
must die —
not physically but psychologically

thought conditions all our action
free the mind from its dependence
no seeking, no asking, no desire, no — thing
that discovery will be your own

talking of complete freedom
inaction is complete action
our relationship with the world
that is all that matters —
