The Teaching
It is as old as the stones.
It came with Humans to the Earth
and it offers them a way out of the web of sorrows
but at a price: we must observe ourselves, our behavior,
our inner and outer responses, objectively.
This means without taking a personal interest or doing anything about the horror which self-observation uncovers:
like a bad boy with a stick overturning a stone
and finding a mass of crawling things beneath,
but he refrains from stomping on them.
