is to be engaged in something else,

to be attached to something other than your Self.

Any beauty other than Self

is a dead corpse in a nice dress;

and attachment to these things

is living in a grave with dead bodies.

When you live in the association of mind

you are in the graveyard,

but when you do inquiry you are Free.

Doubting this Freedom is clinging to bondage.

We cling to our own attachments,

but we can fly away and Satsang is the open door.

It is your choice: old patterns are your own cage.

Befriend something permanent and unchanging

and you will be happy; this is Wisdom, the Guru.

Give up your old patterns of life

which are kusanga, bad associations.
