Throughout my session Of sitting meditation, Though I strive hard To hold in my mind One single purpose Of strict adhering to Straightforwardness, I cannot help hearing Lots of side calls and Voices emergent here And there, nearby and Remotely in their tries To tempt me to turn off The stone-pave highway Of the veritable teachings And take a bypass passage For speeding-up the progress.
