Clinging to non-eternal things is arrogance.

No clinging is Loving all;

so don’t cling and don’t don’t cling

because both conceal the Truth.

Treat the ego and mind like shoes:

wear them when you need to go out

and take them off at the door when you are home.

Otherwise the seat in which knowledge would sit

is occupied.

The thought “I am the body”

is enough to occupy the throne

so keep the mind and ego out with the shoes

until there is no in and no out

and no one left to wear them.

If you have to think, think “I am pure Consciousness.”

If you have to speak, speak about the Self.

If you have to read, read what the Enlightened have written.
