Taming the Bull
« The whip and rope are necessary;
Else he might stray off down some dusty road.
Being well trained, he becomes naturally gentle.
Then, unfettered, he obeys his master. »
When one thought arises, another thought follows. When the first
thought springs from enlightenment, all subsequent thoughts are true.
Through delusion, one makes everything untrue. Delusion is not caused
by objectivity; it is the result of subjectivity. Hold the nose-ring tight
and do not allow even a doubt.
