Master Your Senses

Master your Senses

What you taste and smell,

What you see and what you hear.

In all things be a master

Of what you say and do and think,

Be Free.

Are you quiet?

Quieten your body.

Quieten your mind.

Be of your own efforts.

Waken yourself, watch yourself,

And live joyfully.

Follow the truth of the way. 

Reflect upon it.

Make it your own.

Live it.

It will always sustain you.
