Poem Artwork

As is said, 'He who has no shame

Becomes rich, and he in whom

Many believe becomes illustrious.'

Thus the greatest fame and gain

Would seem to spring from being

Without shame and being believed in.

 

If you look at the matter

From the point of reputation

Or from the point of gain,

To be believed in is the right thing.

 

If you discard the thought of fame

And gain, and think over the matter

Thoroughly, you will see that

A wise man in the course he pursues

Is simply holding fast his heavenly nature

And storing nothing that is superfluity.

The heavenly nature is not beholden to fame and fortune. But in a heavenly nature possessed and shared. All else is superfluous.

Yes, of course, but so much easier said than done.
Still, a nice reminder without rancor or preaching.

When Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden, one of the first things that they felt was shame, namely a self-consciousness brought on by a knowledge that they never expected to know, the knowledge of good and evil. That's what we are living with today to the nth degree. John
