NO BRAINER

            A Man who identifies with 

  mind and body is wrong from the start. 

He spends his whole life 

munching away at fallen apples

from the Tree of Knowledge.

Until a wheelbarrow comes to cart
the body and mind away.

I AM THE PROPHET OF DOOM!

 

Герой нашего времени  (A Hero of Our Time)

(21st  century version)

I WISH I HAD 9 LIVES!

WHO'S SORRY NOW?

If the branch on which I am sitting breaks,
why should I blame the branch
(or the tree)?
 

THE FOUR STAGES OF MAN

STAGE ONE: EGG (NOT BIOLOGICAL)

BUT SIMILAR to the first stage Lepidoptera insects go     through. Appearing out of not-knowing-where-from      as an

egg,

and on its way, through a complicated metamorphosis, to its unimaginable DESTINY:

a BUTTERFLY!

And MAN? Appearing out of not-knowing-where-from as an  

                                   

egg,

and on its way, through a complicated metamorphosis, to its unimaginable DESTINY as

?

NO!

EXEMPLARY BEHAVIOUR

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

PUBLIC SCHOOL

PUBLIC SCHOOL

       is where they teach a FISH

     

         
                                 to RUN

                                       

                               before it can SWIM.

                            

FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON

    Blue shorts, stained white shirt,
    street market playground of dust and dirt.

    Without the moral imperative of must
    and the enforced need to understand,
    he dances in a circle,
    holding a yellowed bodhi leaf in each hand.

    With all the self-assurance of thirty inches high,
    he has no need to wonder how or when or why.

HELLO!

NAKED

Standing under the Tree of Knowledge, 

  the man identified with his body

 
And felt naked 

And started to use the skins of other beings
to hide in.

Then he identified with his mind

And felt naked

And started to use the thoughts of other beings
to hide in. 

A LIABILITY IS AN ASSET IN DISGUISE

Don't make the MOST of the LIABILITY

........

 

Make the BEST of the ASSET

FRIENDLY PERSUASION

In Islam
if a man stops
stealing,
they stop
cutting off
his hands.

DOMESTIC BLISS

It's easy to see the Difference between a Ray of Sunshine and a Saucepan with a Grievance.

THE VICTIM

What goes round, comes round. Not quite.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Not quite.
As you sow, so are you reaped. Nearly.
What you sow, is what you become. YES.
We kill and we are killed.
Sow the aggressor and you become the victim.

        What is the fruit of aggression?

  The victim
       Professor Aziz becomes Felix.

DESTINY

            An acorn is born
              to fulfil its destiny

                  

to become an Oak Tree.

      

Are you fulfilling your destiny?

 Or merely heading towards

 your destination?
    

SCALES OF JUSTICE

    It is not easy to sympathise with         the oppressor

    and not say that the victim
    was asking for it.   

  

    It is not easy to sympathise with         the victim 

    and not blame his oppressor.

If the inescapable future is seen, however,

Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

There is only room for compassion.

FREEDOM?

                      In your pursuit of Freedom TO

Have you lost sight of Freedom FROM?
