All You Gurus

|
All you gurus —
Beware the poet. He sings your praises, spreading delightful lies and not caring. All you gurus — Beware the scholar. With devotion he records your entire history when you have none. All you gurus — Beware the priest. He builds spired temples on every green hilltop only to house himself. All you gurus — Beware the girl. She casts her look, hoping, terrified, you will take the hook. All you gurus — Beware your wife. She serves all with eyes of compassion fixed on the softest seat. All you gurus — Beware the diligent disciple. Ceaselessly meditating, he has already tried your back door. Gurus, beware these children in your care. They teach you how much of you is still there.
