Three Immortal Presents
I have received three immortal presents
On life's Christmas tree:
Detachment-bud
Concern-flower
Love-fruit.
On life's Christmas tree:
Detachment-bud
Concern-flower
Love-fruit.
With the bud I shall begin
My self-enquiry.
With the flower I shall achieve
My self-discovery.
With the fruit I shall enjoy
My self-mastery.
