Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Culprit, you've missed your human birth. Many owners share this body. Parents say, "Our son!" and raise him for their profit. Woman says,"My dear!" and devours him like a tigress. Fond wives and loving sons sit, their mouths gaping like death. Crows and vultures think about death, dogs and hogs eye the road. Fire says, I'll burn the body Water says, I'll quench the flames. Earth says, I'll mingle with it. Air says, I'll blow it away. You think that's your home, fool? It's the enemy at your throat. Dazed by swarms of sense-forms, you call the flesh your own. The body has so many sharers, born and dying in pain. Insane, entranced, unthinking man shouts "Mine!" and "Mine!" again. - KABIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
