Awareness

Aware of good and evil, her youth gives her strength to deal with what comes. She remains free and detached, without bonds, and in the midst of all things, she remains. A flower grows, promising the fruit that in time will ripen. A powerful hand upholds The Dharma, the grounds of life.

Attachment is Bondage

Attachment to things means suffering. Beings are so tied up they can’t move so end up being part of those things they make. The ego always finds reasons to hang onto someone or something. Things are tough and sharp in this world and hurt the purity of one's soul endlessly -- all because of desire and passion. The savior-boat is always there. Can you see it? At the least, can you sense it is there? Yes. But you are afraid to become separated from your things, and so you quickly get rid of the thought of it. Are you going to keep hanging on in the midst of all these things? Remain all tied up?

Cultivate!

It’s time to cultivate! Separate the wheat from the chaff. Take the boat that leads to liberation, and find the Eightfold Noble Path. Dharma. Savior boats are never far away, they are waiting from the beginning of time to get you out of the mess, and release you from ignorance of your True Self.
