Do not be intimidated by a blow.
Do not be crippled by doubt.
Do not lose your faith
In the face of obstacles.
Do not hand over
Your courage to fear.
Do not break up with truth
To accommodate a lie.
Do not let opinions
Douse your spark.
Forgoing your essence
Is not a virtue;
It’s a weakness.
Immorality proceeds
From our forgetting
That we are protected by a reality
That stands over and above appearances;
And that stands outside the bounds of
Perception, emotion and intelligence.
Stay intact. Stay whole. Stay undisturbed.
