Our predicament

"Friend, please tell me what I can do about this world I hold on to and keep spinning out."

"I gave up sown cloths and wore a robe but I noticed one day that the cloth was well woven...
So I bought some burlap but I still throw it elegantly over my left shoulder...
I pulled back my sexual lines but now I discover that I'm angry alot...
I gave up rage and now I notice that I'm greedy all day...
I worked hard at dissolving the greed and now I am proud of myself..."

Kabir said, "Listen my friends, there are very few that find the path".
