Blind to the glowing light within Deaf to the guiding voice within. Groping in the darkness of ignorance Taking the snake to be the rope And fearing the rope to be the snake. Constantly walking in and out of illusions Clutching and clinging to impermanence. Oblivious and unaware of the fact that we are part of the whole and that the whole itself is a part of us. Blissfully degrading, demeaning, deteriorating the self Thus we remain savagely innocent and innocently savage.
